Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-72793). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /api/system/getConf. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.0.0-20260725132049-2d8b98395a91 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
CVE: This vulnerability corresponds to CVE-2026-72793.
Summary
/api/system/getConf is registered with CheckAuth only and is reachable by the publish RoleReader token, and anonymously when Publish.Auth.Enable is false. Its non-administrator masking chain is a blocklist that enumerates fields individually. Three fields that the configuration-export endpoint in the same file deliberately clears are absent from that blocklist and are returned to readers:
| Field | JSON | What it is | Cleared by exportConf at |
|---|---|---|---|
Conf.CookieKey |
cookieKey |
The session-cookie signing key | kernel/api/system.go:360 |
Conf.Export.PandocBin |
export.pandocBin |
Absolute path embedding the OS username | kernel/api/system.go:338 |
Conf.NotebookCrypto |
notebookCrypto |
Encrypted-notebook key material | kernel/api/system.go:360 |
The project has already classified all three as values that must not leave the server. The reader-facing path returns them.
Details
Route. kernel/api/router.go:70 : POST /api/system/getConf → model.CheckAuth → getConf. No CheckReadonly, no CheckAdminRole.
The masking chain, and what each stage covers. getConf masks through GetMaskedConf() → HideConfSecret() (non-administrators) → FilterConfByPublishIgnore() (readers) → a browser-request path strip.
