Summary

Mooncake Store from kvcache-ai, master through 0.3.13.post1, lacks authentication on its remove RPCs (CWE-306). A remote attacker with no credentials can send forged requests to the coro_rpc port to force-delete any object, bypass lease checks, wipe keys matching a regex or clear the entire store, causing cache loss and request failures.
