stigmem-node: decay sweep expires and counts facts across all tenants (cross-tenant BOLA)

CVE-2026-76238GHSA-6gqw-jqv7-v88m

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (stigmem-node 0.9.0a12), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary On a multi-tenant stigmem node, a caller holding a write credential for one tenant can run a decay sweep that acts on every tenant's facts. The candidate-selection queries in lifecycle/decay.py (selectttlcandidates, selectconfidencecandidates) carried no tenantid predicate, and the caller's tenant was not threaded into the sweep or its async worker (rundecaysweep / decayjobworker), reached via POST /v1/decay/sweep. Impact A sweep with ttlseconds=0 expires all tenants' facts — cross-tenant data destruction (integrity and availability). A dryrun sweep returns a global candidate count, acting as a cross-tenant existence/volume oracle (information disclosure). Affected configurations This is a cross-tenant break. It is exploitable only on deployments running the opt-in stigmem-plugin-multi-tenant (multiple tenants on one node). A default single-tenant node has only tenant="default" — there is no second tenant to cross — so it is not exploitable on default deployments. The rating…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-76238

Advisory: stigmem-node: decay sweep expires and counts facts across all tenants (cross-tenant BOLA)
IDs: CVE-2026-76238, GHSA-6gqw-jqv7-v88m
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-76238 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:46 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 7.2)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: stigmem-node 0.9.0a12. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI stigmem-node: affected < 0.9.0a12; fixed in 0.9.0a12

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show stigmem-node`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on stigmem-node.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-6gqw-jqv7-v88m (OSV record GHSA-6gqw-jqv7-v88m lists affected ranges: PyPI stigmem-node >=0 <0.9.0a12 (fixed))
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-6gqw-jqv7-v88m (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-6gqw-jqv7-v88m lists affected ranges: PyPI stigmem-node >=0 <0.9.0a12)
