Summary

Mooncake Store from 0 through 0.3.13.post1 by kvcache-ai contains a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862). An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject completed LOCAL_DISK replicas through the NotifyOffloadSuccess RPC. The attacker mounts a local disk segment under a self-chosen client UUID and attaches replicas that point to attacker-controlled endpoints, which lets them serve poisoned disk-tier reads and fake key existence.
