DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the WebSocket endpoint caused by differential parsing of query parameters between authentication exemption and session quarantine checks. Unauthenticated attackers can craft a malicious WebSocket URI with duplicated query parameters to bypass access auth code validation and receive the live kernel event stream including document identifiers, titles, and operation logs.

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in SiYuan's WebSocket endpoint allows unauthenticated remote attackers to access the live kernel event stream - including document identifiers, titles, and operation logs - in all versions before v3.7.4. The flaw stems from a query-parameter parsing differential between two distinct security checks: the auth-exemption path and the session quarantine path resolve duplicate query parameters differently, allowing a crafted URI to satisfy the exemption check while evading token validation entirely. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify internet-exposed SiYuan WebSocket port
Delivery
Craft URI with duplicated token query parameters
Exploit
Send WebSocket upgrade request to bypass auth check
Execution
Receive authenticated kernel event stream
Impact
Harvest document identifiers, titles, and operation logs

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The vulnerability requires network reachability to the SiYuan WebSocket endpoint - by default port 6806. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms this is exploitable remotely by any unauthenticated attacker with network access, with no attack complexity or special conditions required - a worst-case access profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who identifies an internet-exposed SiYuan instance sends a crafted WebSocket upgrade request to the kernel endpoint with a duplicated 'token' query parameter - one value satisfying the exemption check, one bypassing token validation - causing the server to accept the unauthenticated connection. Once connected, the attacker passively receives the live kernel event stream, harvesting document identifiers, titles, and operation logs in real time without any user interaction. …
Remediation Upgrade SiYuan to version v3.7.4 or later, which resolves the query parameter parsing differential per the vendor security advisory at https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-c8w8-3pqp-wr83. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all SiYuan deployments and determine internet exposure status and current version. …
