Auth bypass in Mem0
CVE-2026-59706
mem0 contains unauthenticated config API endpoints that expose LLM API keys in plaintext and allow server-side request forgery via attacker-controlled ollama_base_url parameter. Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve stored secrets like OpenAI API keys via GET /api/v1/config/ or trigger SSRF attacks by setting ollama_base_url to internal addresses like cloud IMDS via PUT /api/v1/config/mem0/llm endpoint.
