Vulnerability in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-72808)

Summary

Vulnerability in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-72808). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via POST /api/asset/upload. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.0.0-20260723031702-509b35055940 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

CVE: This vulnerability corresponds to CVE-2026-72808.

Summary

The /api/asset/getFileAnnotation endpoint returns the content of .sya PDF-annotation files with no publish-access check. It is gated by CheckAuth only, so it is reachable by the publish RoleReader token and by the anonymous account when Publish.Auth.Enable is false. Its sibling, the /assets/* asset route does enforce publish access, including the publish password. An anonymous reader who knows an asset path can therefore read the private PDF annotations (highlights, notes) attached to assets in publish-forbidden, password-protected, or unpublished documents.

Details

getFileAnnotation resolves the annotation file via GetAssetAbsPathInBox (no path traversal) and returns the .sya content. Unlike the /assets/* route, which applies the publish-access filter including password enforcement before serving asset bytes, getFileAnnotation applies no publish-access, publish-ignore, or password check. The guarded-sibling asymmetry indicates the boundary is meant to apply to this data and was omitted here.

.sya files for encrypted-box assets are fail-closed and not exposed. The gap is limited to non-encrypted assets.

Route / auth tier. getFileAnnotation is registered CheckAuth-only. CheckAuth admits RoleReader; the publish proxy forwards port-6808 traffic with a Reader JWT (anonymous when publish auth is disabled).

❓ What is the problem

A vulnerability (CWE-862) exists in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /api/asset/upload without authentication.

📍 Affected scope

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

🔥 Severity

Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.8/10). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 0.0.0-20260723031702-509b35055940.

🛡️ 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/asset/upload 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/asset/upload' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'

    アクセスログで POST /api/asset/upload 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 0.0.0-20260723031702-509b35055940

    ステージング環境で 0.0.0-20260723031702-509b35055940 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/asset/upload 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。
