SiYuan before v3.8.1 does not apply the IsForbiddenAbsPath guard (introduced in GHSA-c8r8-95hg-mp34) to the /history/*path and /repo/diff/*path endpoints in kernel/server/serve.go. These routes require admin authentication but construct file paths independently, so an authenticated administrator can retrieve historical snapshots of sensitive files that the guard is meant to block, including data/.siyuan/publishAccess.json (plaintext publish-mode passwords) and files under data/templates/.
AnalysisAI
Authenticated administrators in SiYuan before v3.8.1 can bypass the IsForbiddenAbsPath security guard - introduced to remediate GHSA-c8r8-95hg-mp34 - by targeting the /history/*path and /repo/diff/*path API endpoints, which construct file paths independently and were never covered by the guard. Exploitation enables retrieval of historical file snapshots including data/.siyuan/publishAccess.json, which stores plaintext publish-mode passwords, and files under data/templates/. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires valid SiYuan administrator credentials - the CVSS vector specifies PR:H, confirming high-privilege authentication is mandatory. … 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:H/UI:N with VC:H) yields a score of 6.9 (Medium), which accurately reflects the privilege barrier: exploitation requires administrator-level authentication, significantly narrowing the attacker pool to insiders, compromised admin credentials, or credential-reuse scenarios. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The vendor-released patch is SiYuan v3.8.1, which applies the IsForbiddenAbsPath guard to the /history/*path and /repo/diff/*path endpoints. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
