Authenticated path traversal in SiYuan personal knowledge management system (versions prior to 3.7.1) lets a low-privileged user read arbitrary workspace files by abusing the /snippets/*filepath handler. Because serveSnippets in kernel/server/serve.go single-decodes the request path and joins it to the snippets directory without containment or sensitive-file checks, a request like /snippets/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/conf/conf.json returns workspace secrets and the document database. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the fixing commit publicly reveals the vulnerable code path.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
SiYuan is an open-source personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.7.1, the /snippets/*filepath route handler serveSnippets in kernel/server/serve.go joins a single-decoded request path with the snippets directory without subpath containment or sensitive-path checks, allowing an authenticated request such as /snippets/%2e%2e/%2e%2e/conf/conf.json to read workspace secrets and the document database. This issue is fixed in versions 3.7.1.
Executive ViewAI
SiYuan personal knowledge management system versions prior to 3.7.1 contain an authenticated path traversal vulnerability allowing low-privileged users to read arbitrary workspace files, including configuration data and document databases. Organizations storing sensitive information in SiYuan face direct exposure of workspace secrets and potentially confidential documents. Immediate upgrade to version 3.7.1 or later is required to prevent unauthorized data access.
Within 24 hours: Inventory all SiYuan installations and identify systems running versions prior to 3.7.1; implement network-level access restrictions as interim protection. Within 7 days: Upgrade all affected SiYuan instances to version 3.7.1 or later. Within 30 days: Audit system logs for exploitation attempts (malicious requests to /snippets endpoint with traversal sequences like %2e%2e); rotate workspace secrets if unauthorized access is detected.
Apply vendor patch: upgrade to SiYuan version 3.7.1 or later. Interim mitigation: restrict network access to SiYuan instances and disable or rate-limit the /snippets API endpoint pending patching.
