CVSS measures technical severity, not the likelihood of an attack.

Known exploitation

Not listed in the checked CISA KEV catalog

Absence from CISA KEV does not rule out attacks.

Public exploit

Not established by this record

Missing evidence does not mean no public exploit exists.

Remediation

Fix status not established

No structured fix or guidance is available here. Check the latest publisher advisory.

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.
