Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Mnemosyne (PyPI package mnemosyne-memory) versions before 3.10.1 have a sync server whose authentication check did not verify JWT signatures, so any well-formed token was accepted. A network-reachable attacker with no credentials can impersonate any user and read or modify that user's sync data. Upgrade to mnemosyne-memory 3.10.1; as a workaround, restrict network access to the sync server to trusted clients.
