Given the high severity (CVSS 8.4) of this vulnerability and the risk of complete device compromise, we strongly recommend that organizations prioritize the immediate application of vendor-supplied patches. Although this CVE is not currently listed on the CISA KEV catalog, its high impact makes it a prime candidate for future inclusion. Until patches are fully deployed, organizations must implement the suggested compensating controls, such as restricting SSH access, to mitigate immediate risk.

Executive Summary:
A critical vulnerability exists in The Memos application that allows an attacker to force the server to make requests to arbitrary URLs. By embedding a malicious image link in a memo, an attacker can scan an organization's internal network, access internal services, and potentially steal sensitive data or credentials. This vulnerability represents a significant risk of internal system compromise and data exfiltration.

Vulnerability Details

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-50738

Affected Software: The Memos Multiple Products

Affected Versions: All versions up to and including v0.24.3

Vulnerability:
The vulnerability is a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). The Memos application fails to properly validate the URLs provided within markdown for embedding images. An attacker with the ability to create or edit a memo can insert a markdown image tag pointing to an internal network address (e.g., http://192.168.1.100/dashboard, http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data). When any user views this memo, the application server, not the user's browser, fetches the content from the malicious URL. This allows the attacker to use the Memos server as a proxy to interact with services on the internal network that are not exposed to the internet, including internal APIs, admin panels, and cloud provider metadata services.

Business Impact

This vulnerability is rated as critical severity with a CVSS score of 9.8, posing a direct and severe threat to the organization. Exploitation can lead to a complete compromise of confidentiality and integrity of data accessible by the Memos server. Potential consequences include the exfiltration of sensitive corporate data, theft of cloud infrastructure credentials (e.g., AWS IAM roles), and providing an attacker with a pivot point to launch further attacks against other systems within the internal network. A successful exploit could result in a major data breach, significant financial loss, and severe reputational damage.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action:
Immediately update all instances of The Memos to a version later than v0.24.3, as this is the primary remediation step recommended by the vendor. After patching, monitor application and network logs for any signs of exploitation that may have occurred prior to the update. Review access logs to identify any unusual memo creation or viewing activity.

Proactive Monitoring:
Monitor outbound network traffic from the server(s) hosting The Memos application. Specifically, look for HTTP/HTTPS requests originating from the server to internal IP address ranges (e.g., 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16) or to known cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254). Alert on any such traffic, as it is a strong indicator of an exploitation attempt.

Compensating Controls:
If patching cannot be performed immediately, implement strict network egress filtering as a temporary measure. Configure firewall rules to block all outbound connections from the Memos server to internal network destinations and cloud metadata services. Only allow outbound traffic to known, required external domains. A Web Application Firewall (WAF) with rules to detect and block common SSRF patterns can also provide an additional layer of defense.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: False

Analyst Notes:
As of Jul 29, 2025, there are no known public exploits for this vulnerability. However, because SSRF vulnerabilities in markdown processors are well understood, a functional exploit can be developed with minimal effort. Organizations should assume that attackers will begin targeting this vulnerability immediately following its public disclosure and act accordingly.

Analyst Recommendation
Given the critical 9.8 CVSS score and the direct path to internal network compromise, this vulnerability requires immediate attention. We strongly recommend that all organizations patch affected instances of The Memos without delay. Although this CVE is not currently on the CISA KEV list, its severity makes it a high-priority candidate for patching. If patching is delayed for any reason, the compensating controls, especially egress filtering, must be implemented as an urgent priority to mitigate the risk of a breach.

An attacker could access confidential data, including customer information, intellectual property, application source code, and configuration files containing database credentials or API keys. This could lead to a major data breach, resulting in severe reputational damage, regulatory fines, and loss of customer trust. Furthermore, if the vulnerability allows file modification, an attacker could deface the website, plant a backdoor for persistent access, or cause a denial-of-service condition by deleting critical system files.

Remediation Plan

Immediate Action: Apply vendor security updates immediately across all affected systems. After patching, monitor for any signs of exploitation attempts by reviewing web server and application access logs for suspicious patterns indicative of directory traversal attacks.

Proactive Monitoring: Security teams should actively monitor for exploitation attempts. Review web server access logs for requests containing directory traversal sequences such as ../, ..%2f, or ..%5c. Configure Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) to alert on and block known directory traversal attack signatures. Implement File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) on critical server files to detect any unauthorized modifications.

Compensating Controls: If patching cannot be performed immediately, implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) and enable rules designed to detect and block directory traversal attacks. Additionally, harden file system permissions to ensure the web server's service account has read/write access only to the directories it absolutely requires, restricting its ability to access sensitive system-level files.

Exploitation Status

Public Exploit Available: false

Analyst Notes: As of November 3, 2025, there are no known public proof-of-concept exploits or active exploitation campaigns targeting this vulnerability. However, directory traversal is a well-understood vulnerability class, and threat actors can develop exploits for such flaws relatively quickly after a public disclosure.

Analyst Recommendation

Given the high severity (CVSS 7.5) of this vulnerability and its potential for enabling unauthorized access to sensitive data, we strongly recommend that organizations prioritize the immediate application of the vendor-supplied security patches. Although this CVE is not currently listed on the CISA KEV list, its impact warrants urgent attention. All internet-facing instances of affected NextChat thru products should be considered at high risk. If immediate patching is not feasible, the compensating controls outlined above, particularly the use of a WAF, should be implemented as a temporary mitigation.
