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.

  • GetMaskedConf: UserData, MCPOAuth, AccessAuthCode.
  • HideConfSecret:…

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (CWE-522) exists in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /api/system/getConf without authentication.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Attack surface: POST /api/system/getConf / CheckAuth / RoleReader / Publish.Auth.Enable.

🔥 Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 8.6/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 0.0.0-20260725132049-2d8b98395a91.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual POST /api/system/getConf requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r 'github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
    grep 'POST /api/system/getConf' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'

    アクセスログで POST /api/system/getConf への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。

  3. 3
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel to 0.0.0-20260725132049-2d8b98395a91

    ステージング環境で 0.0.0-20260725132049-2d8b98395a91 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。

  4. 4
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Replay attack against POST /api/system/getConf on staging to confirm patch closes the vector

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
