CVE-2026-116166 Details
Description
SiYuan 3.6.0 before 3.8.7 accepts and persists the networkServeTLS setting but never enforces it, so the kernel port keeps serving full API access over plain HTTP alongside HTTPS. Network-adjacent attackers can sniff the cleartext login flow and session cookie, which lacks the Secure attribute while responses omit HSTS, to hijack kernel API sessions.
A vulnerability in SiYuan versions 3.6.0 prior to 3.8.7 allows for cleartext transmission of sensitive information due to the 'networkServeTLS' setting being accepted but not enforced. This oversight causes the kernel port to serve full API access over unencrypted HTTP, alongside HTTPS. As a result, network-adjacent attackers can intercept the cleartext login process and session cookies, which lack the 'Secure' attribute, while responses do not include HSTS, potentially leading to hijacking of kernel API sessions.
Users can upgrade to SiYuan version 3.8.7, where this vulnerability has been addressed.
