Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires same-origin access to the SiYuan bazaar install HTTP endpoints, meaning the attacker must be able to issue HTTP requests that satisfy the browser same-origin policy - achievable via a malicious script in an open SiYuan browser tab, a compromised browser extension, or direct API access to the localhost server port. The attacker must know the packageName of at least one already-installed, trusted plugin to target for overwrite. The CVSS 4.0 vector confirms low privileges (PR:L), partial user interaction (UI:P), and specific attack prerequisites (AT:P) are required. Exploitation is constrained to local-access scenarios (AV:L) with high complexity (AC:H), substantially narrowing the threat surface compared to fully remote unauthenticated flaws. Single-user deployments with no shared browser sessions and network-restricted SiYuan instances face materially reduced exposure.

Impact

The vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:P) scoring 5.9 accurately captures the constrained exploitation surface: local access, high attack complexity, specific preconditions, low privilege, and partial user interaction all limit the realistic threat population. The vulnerability does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog, no POC code is referenced in the available intelligence, and EPSS data was not provided - leaving exploitation probability unquantified but inferably low given the access requirements. Despite the moderate score, the integrity and persistence impact is disproportionate: an attacker who meets prerequisites achieves durable plugin substitution that survives restarts, which is a meaningful foothold in environments where SiYuan plugins interact with sensitive notes or external data. The CVSS 4.0 subsequent-system integrity metric (SI:H) reflects this. Risk is highest in multi-user or team SiYuan deployments where a malicious insider or a compromised same-origin browser session can reach the Bazaar API; single-user, air-gapped, or network-restricted deployments face materially lower exposure. No data conflicts exist between available signals, though the absence of EPSS and KEV data leaves real-world exploitation frequency unconfirmed.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with same-origin access to a SiYuan instance - for example, a malicious script running in the same browser session as an open SiYuan tab, or a local network actor who can reach the SiYuan HTTP API directly - crafts a bazaar install request specifying a trusted, already-installed plugin's packageName alongside a repoURL pointing to attacker-controlled malicious code. SiYuan fetches and installs the malicious code into the trusted plugin's directory without detecting the mismatch, after which the malicious plugin executes automatically on every subsequent application restart under the trust level of the overwritten plugin.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 22, 2026

Plugin integrity bypass in SiYuan before v3.7.4 allows attackers with same-origin access to overwrite trusted, installed plugins by exploiting the bazaar install endpoint's failure to verify that the downloaded package content matches the caller-supplied packageName. By pairing a legitimate plugin's packageName with an attacker-controlled repoURL, an adversary substitutes malicious plugin code that persists across application restarts, achieving durable code execution within the SiYuan application context. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, but the persistence mechanism elevates the practical impact beyond the moderate CVSS score.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to SiYuan v3.7.4 or later, which introduces package identity validation in the bazaar install endpoints, as documented in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-rpx2-p6hp-x5gj. For deployments where immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict access to the SiYuan local HTTP API at the host firewall or application level to prevent untrusted same-origin requests from reaching the bazaar install endpoints - note this may break browser-based plugin management workflows. Disabling the Bazaar plugin installation feature entirely eliminates the attack surface at the cost of all plugin management capability. As a detection measure, audit installed plugin directories for unexpected or recently modified content to identify potential prior exploitation. No upstream commit hash for the fix was provided in the references; confirm the fix is included in the release artifact before deploying.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SiYuan is a local-first, self-hosted note-taking application (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:siyuan-note:siyuan:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that ships a plugin marketplace called 'Bazaar.' Bazaar install endpoints accept two caller-controlled parameters - packageName and repoURL - to fetch and install community plugins into named directories. The root cause is CWE-345 (Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity): the application trusts the declared packageName without cryptographically or structurally verifying that the artifact fetched from repoURL actually corresponds to that package identity. This allows an attacker to direct the installer to fetch arbitrary code from an attacker-controlled repository while targeting the directory of an already-trusted, installed plugin, effectively replacing it. Because SiYuan loads plugins on startup from these directories, the substituted code executes automatically and persistently.

DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to validate that packageName matches the downloaded package content in bazaar install endpoints. Attackers with same-origin access can overwrite existing trusted plugins by supplying mismatched packageName and repoURL parameters, achieving persistence across application restarts.
