CVE-2026-100637 Details
Description
SiYuan versions before v3.8.4 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the checkoutRepo endpoint that allows authenticated administrators to write JSON files outside the workspace. Attackers can supply a sessionID parameter containing directory traversal sequences to overwrite arbitrary JSON files in pre-existing kernel-writable directories outside workspace boundaries.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in SiYuan versions prior to 3.8.4, specifically within the checkoutRepo endpoint. This vulnerability allows authenticated administrators to write JSON files outside of designated workspace boundaries. By exploiting the sessionID parameter with directory traversal sequences, attackers can overwrite arbitrary JSON files in existing kernel-writable directories, bypassing workspace restrictions.
Users are advised to update SiYuan to version 3.8.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
