Incorrect access control in usememos memos v0.25.2 allows attackers with low-level privileges to arbitrarily delete reactions made to other users' Memos.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A signed-in, low-privilege user may be able to delete reactions on other users' Memos. This does not expose data or take systems offline, but it undermines content integrity and user trust in shared memos deployments.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate integrity issue. Prioritize remediation for public, shared, or customer-facing memos deployments, but it is not described as data theft, ransomware enablement, or unauthenticated compromise.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-284 incorrect access control in usememos memos v0.25.2. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network access, low complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, and no availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to organizations running usememos memos v0.25.2, especially multi-user instances where low-privilege accounts exist. The provided CVE metadata does not identify broader affected versions or CPEs.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as KEV in the provided bundle, and no cited source states active exploitation. Abuse requires authenticated low-level privileges and targets deletion of other users' reactions, not full memo content or server compromise.
Researcher notes
The source bundle gives a concise vulnerability description but no detailed patch version, affected-version range, or exploit evidence. Analysis should stay tied to memos v0.25.2 unless vendor materials confirm additional versions.
Mitigation direction
Identify any usememos memos v0.25.2 deployments.
Review the vendor PR and advisory for fixed release guidance.
Apply vendor-approved updates when available.
Restrict account creation and low-privilege access until remediated.
Monitor for unusual reaction deletion activity.
Validation and detection
Confirm the deployed memos version against v0.25.2 exposure.
Review application logs for reaction deletions by non-owners.
In authorized staging, verify low-privilege users cannot delete others' reactions.
Track vendor issue PR 5217 for remediation status.
Document whether the instance is single-user or multi-user.

CWE-284: Authorization and privilege behavior lookup
Authorization weaknesses can support privilege escalation and valid-account review, depending on exploit path. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.
