• PyPI stigmem-node: < 0.9.0a2 → fixed in 0.9.0a2

Description

Impact Stigmem nodes configured with authentication disabled could grant the anonymous identity broad read/write/federation capabilities if exposed outside a loopback-only local development environment. Impacted users are operators who intentionally disabled authentication while binding the node to a non-loopback URL. Patches Patched in 0.9.0a2. The node now refuses unauthenticated operation outside loopback-only local development. Workarounds Before upgrading, keep authentication enabled for all non-local deployments and do not expose nodes with authentication disabled to untrusted networks. Upgrade Upgrade to the patched release: ```bash pip install --upgrade --pre stigmem-node ``` If developers install through the Stigmem meta-package instead, they should use the matching extra for their deployments, for example: ```bash pip install --upgrade --pre 'stigmem[node]' ``` Resources • Release: https://github.com/eidetic-labs/stigmem/releases/tag/v0.9.0a2 • Changelog: https://github.com/eidetic-labs/stigmem/blob/v0.9.0a2/CHANGELOG.md#L14-L35 • Security policy and posture: https://github.com/eidetic-labs/stigmem/blob/v0.9.0a2/SECURITY.md
