CVE-2026-100638 Details
Description
SiYuan versions before v3.8.4 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the setNotebookIcon endpoint that allows authenticated administrators to create arbitrary directory trees and write files outside the workspace boundary. Attackers can supply directory traversal sequences in the notebook parameter to escape the workspace data directory and write conf.json files to arbitrary locations accessible by the kernel process.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in SiYuan versions prior to v3.8.4, specifically within the setNotebookIcon endpoint. This vulnerability allows authenticated administrators to create arbitrary directory structures and write files outside the designated workspace boundaries. By exploiting directory traversal sequences in the notebook parameter, administrators can escape the workspace data directory and place conf.json files in various locations accessible by the kernel process.
Users can update to SiYuan version 3.8.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
