What this means
obsidian-tc versions 1.0.1 to 1.31.4 may overwrite unowned notes due to incomplete cleanup and incorrect authorization. An authorized caller with memory-tool permissions could unintentionally destroy a vault note's body. The issue is fixed in version 1.31.4.
Summarized by @cf/meta/llama-3.3-70b-instruct-fp8-fast. Verify details against the original sources.Attack conditions
An authorized caller with the required memory-tool permissions could, without intending to, destroy the body of a vault note outside the entity being written; delete_entity additionally requires its deletion permission and destructive confirmation, which this memory flaw does not bypass.

Original source description
Read the full publisher description
obsidian-tc is a governed, agent-ready Model Context Protocol server for Obsidian vaults. From 1.0.1 until 1.31.4, create_entity, link_entities, rename_entity, unlink_entities and delete_entity regenerate memory notes from SQLite at the computed memory/<type>/<name>.md path without reliably preserving note ownership or the consistency of a failed lifecycle operation. During shared materialization, a hand-authored note or an orphan left by a different entity whose name sanitized to the same path could have its entire body overwritten on the next write naming that type and name, with non-owned frontmatter preserved. rename_entity also seeded the destination path with a direct atomic write without validating ownership and could overwrite a foreign note there. Separately, several tools mutated SQLite before fallible filesystem work: create_entity and link_entities inserted the row or relation before materialization; rename_entity updated the entity, including a retired status, before updating its note; unlink_entities removed a relation before rematerializing the source note; and delete_entity's cascade removed the target and its relations before rematerializing neighbouring notes. A later filesystem failure could therefore leave a row or relation changed and the memory graph inconsistent with the notes on disk even when the operation failed. An authorized caller with the required memory-tool permissions could, without intending to, destroy the body of a vault note outside the entity being written; delete_entity additionally requires its deletion permission and destructive confirmation, which this memory flaw does not bypass. Snapshots-before-write through restore_note mitigate the overwrite only where snapshots are enabled and the note had previously been written through obsidian-tc. This issue is fixed in version 1.31.4.
