Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires network reachability to a SiYuan instance's HTTP API and a request to the fullTextSearchAssetContent endpoint; per the description this endpoint is reachable by unauthenticated users and by holders of publish RoleReader tokens, so no login credential is strictly required (CVSS PR:N, UI:N). The concrete prerequisite is that the SiYuan API/publish surface is reachable by the attacker - an instance fully firewalled to localhost or behind an authenticating proxy/VPN is not exploitable remotely, and disabling publishing/RoleReader tokens removes that specific access path. Affected only on versions before v3.7.3.

Impact

This is a genuine high-priority issue rather than an inflated CVSS score. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms fully remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction, and the vulnerable-system impact metrics VC:H/VI:H plus subsequent-system SC:H/SI:H reflect both confidentiality and integrity compromise reaching beyond the immediate scope. The description independently corroborates the network vector by naming an endpoint reachable by unauthenticated users. EPSS is not provided in the input, and the CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of active exploitation yet; likewise no POC is referenced, meaning the practical barrier is currently 'skilled attacker must craft the injection' rather than 'point-and-click exploit exists.' The signals are internally consistent (no CVSS-versus-description conflict), and the read-write database access materially raises impact versus a read-only SQLi. Missing data: EPSS probability and KEV status cannot be evaluated because they were not supplied.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who can reach a SiYuan instance's HTTP API - either fully unauthenticated or using a publish RoleReader token - sends a crafted request to the fullTextSearchAssetContent endpoint with a malicious 'method' parameter or REGEXP payload. The injected SQL executes against the read-write asset-content database, letting the attacker dump notebook contents and then modify or delete records across notebooks. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis, but the low attack complexity and network vector make weaponization straightforward for a skilled attacker.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 03, 2026

SQL injection in SiYuan's fullTextSearchAssetContent endpoint lets unauthenticated attackers and holders of publish RoleReader tokens execute arbitrary SQL against the read-write asset-content database in all versions before v3.7.3. Because the endpoint is reachable without authentication and the database is writable, attackers can read, alter, or delete data across notebooks - not merely exfiltrate it. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the flaw was reported by VulnCheck and carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.9.

RemediationAI

Upgrade SiYuan to v3.7.3 or later, which the vendor advisory (GHSA-fph3-ghq9-vw66) confirms contains the fix - patch available per vendor advisory. Until upgrading, reduce exposure by restricting network reachability of the SiYuan HTTP API: do not expose the instance or its publish endpoints directly to the internet, place it behind an authenticating reverse proxy or VPN, and disable or lock down publishing mode / RoleReader token issuance if not required, since these tokens are among the affected access paths (trade-off: publishing and shared-read features become unavailable). If the fullTextSearchAssetContent endpoint can be blocked at the proxy without breaking search for legitimate users, do so as a temporary control. Consult https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/siyuan-before-sql-injection-via-fulltextsearchassetcontent for further detail. These are compensating controls only; the definitive fix is the v3.7.3 upgrade.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SiYuan is a self-hosted, block-based personal knowledge management and note-taking application (vendor siyuan-note) that stores note and asset content in a local SQLite-style database and exposes HTTP API endpoints, including a publishing mode with role-scoped tokens (e.g. RoleReader). The vulnerability is a classic CWE-89 SQL Injection: the fullTextSearchAssetContent handler builds queries using unescaped 'method' parameters and REGEXP clauses, allowing user-controlled input to break out of the intended query context. Critically, the injection targets the asset-content database in read-write mode, so the impact extends beyond data disclosure to arbitrary modification and deletion. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:siyuan-note:siyuan:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* across all releases prior to 3.7.3.

DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan versions before v3.7.3 contain SQL injection vulnerabilities in the fullTextSearchAssetContent endpoint reachable by unauthenticated users and publish RoleReader tokens. Attackers can execute arbitrary SQL on the read-write asset-content database via unescaped method parameters and REGEXP clauses to read, modify, or delete cross-notebook data.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

SiYuan knowledge management platform versions prior to 3.7.3 contain a critical SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read, modify, or delete all stored notebooks without authentication. This vulnerability affects any organization currently deployed on affected versions and creates immediate risk to both data confidentiality and integrity. Patch to version 3.7.3 immediately to eliminate this exposure.
