8.1 HIGH

AC:H because a malicious/compromised browser extension must already be installed; PR:N as the kernel requires no auth (empty AccessAuthCode); full C/I/A impact to the SiYuan instance, no scope change.

DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan is an open-source personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.7.0, SiYuan Note's kernel HTTP server unconditionally trusts all chrome-extension:// origins, granting RoleAdministrator access to every installed browser extension without any authentication. Combined with the default empty AccessAuthCode on desktop installs, any Chrome/Chromium extension -- including a compromised legitimate extension via supply chain attack -- can make fully authenticated admin API calls to the SiYuan kernel at 127.0.0.1:6806, enabling data exfiltration, stored XSS injection, and configuration tampering. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.7.0.

AnalysisAI

Origin-validation bypass in SiYuan Note (open-source personal knowledge management) before 3.7.0 lets any installed Chrome/Chromium browser extension obtain RoleAdministrator access to the local kernel HTTP server at 127.0.0.1:6806. Because the kernel unconditionally trusts all chrome-extension:// origins and desktop installs ship with an empty AccessAuthCode by default, a malicious or supply-chain-compromised extension can issue fully authenticated admin API calls with no further authentication, enabling data exfiltration, stored XSS injection, and configuration tampering. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires a Chrome/Chromium browser extension (malicious, or legitimate-but-compromised via supply chain) installed in a browser on the same host where SiYuan's kernel is running and reachable at 127.0.0.1:6806, with SiYuan version prior to 3.7.0. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, score 9.2) reflects full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact to the SiYuan instance with no authentication, but a high attack complexity (AC:H) that captures the real precondition: the attacker must control a browser extension already installed in the victim's browser. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker publishes or compromises (via supply chain) a Chrome extension that the victim already trusts and has installed. When the victim is running SiYuan, the extension silently issues fetch requests to http://127.0.0.1:6806 with its chrome-extension:// origin; the kernel grants administrator rights and the extension reads all notes, alters configuration, or injects stored XSS. …
Remediation Upgrade to SiYuan 3.7.0 or later, which removes the unconditional trust of chrome-extension:// origins (Vendor-released patch: 3.7.0); see the advisory at https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-hvr9-72v2-fff3. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
