4DescriptionCVE.org
SiYuan versions before v3.8.2 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the reader-accessible file-read endpoint that follows symlinks when opening authorized asset paths. Attackers with reader role can request a logical asset under data/assets/ that is a symlink to a file outside the workspace and receive the target file bytes, bypassing workspace boundary restrictions.
AnalysisAI
Path traversal via symlink following in SiYuan's reader-accessible file-read API allows authenticated low-privilege users to escape the workspace boundary and read arbitrary server-side files. Versions before v3.8.2 fail to resolve symlink targets before serving asset content, meaning a reader-role account can request a data/assets/ path that is a symlink pointing outside the workspace and receive the target file bytes. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires: (1) a valid reader-role account in a multi-user SiYuan deployment - PR:L per CVSS 4.0 confirms authentication is required; (2) a symlink to exist under data/assets/ that resolves to a file outside the workspace - this symlink must either be pre-existing or created via a mechanism available to higher-privileged users (admin, editor); (3) network access to the SiYuan HTTP API endpoint. … 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:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N) scores 7.1 and accurately captures the threat model: network-accessible, low-complexity exploitation requiring only a reader-role credential, with high confidentiality impact against the vulnerable system and no integrity or availability consequence. … 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 | Upgrade SiYuan to v3.8.2 or later, which resolves the symlink before serving the file and validates that the canonical path remains within the workspace boundary. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, audit SiYuan access logs for suspicious file-read API requests and restrict the data/assets API endpoint to trusted networks using firewall or reverse proxy controls. …
