CVE-2026-116168 Details
Description
SiYuan before 3.8.7 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the MCP asset tool because validateAssetUploadPaths relies on an incomplete sensitive-path blacklist that omits .env and other secret files. Authenticated attackers driving the MCP asset upload action can copy such local files into the workspace and read them back via /assets/ over HTTP.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in SiYuan versions prior to 3.8.7, specifically within the MCP asset tool. The issue arises because the 'validateAssetUploadPaths' function relies on an incomplete blacklist of sensitive paths, excluding files like '.env' that contain secrets. Authenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability by uploading such local files into the workspace and subsequently accessing them via the '/assets/' route over HTTP.
Users can upgrade to SiYuan version 3.8.7 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
