{"id":"CVE-2026-41894","aliases":["GHSA-hjh7-r5w8-5872","GO-2026-5429"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2026-41894","summary":"SiYuan: Incomplete Fix Bypass for CVE-2026-30869: Path Traversal via Double URL Encoding in `/export/` Endpoint","details":"### Summary\nThe fix for CVE-2026-30869 in SiYuan v3.5.10 only added a denylist check (`IsSensitivePath`) but did not address the root cause — a redundant `url.PathUnescape()` call in `serveExport()`. An authenticated attacker can use double URL encoding (`%252e%252e`) to traverse directories and read arbitrary workspace files including the full SQLite database (`siyuan.db`), kernel log, and all user documents.\n\n### Details\nIn `kernel/server/serve.go`, the `serveExport()` function (line 314-320) processes file paths as follows:\n\n```go\nfilePath := strings.TrimPrefix(c.Request.URL.Path, \"/export/\")\ndecodedPath, err := url.PathUnescape(filePath)     // second decode\nfullPath := filepath.Join(exportBaseDir, decodedPath)\n```\n\nGo's HTTP server already decodes percent-encoded characters once during request parsing. The additional `url.PathUnescape()` call creates a double-decode vulnerability:\n\n1. Attacker sends: `GET /export/%252e%252e/siyuan.db`\n2. Go HTTP decodes `%25` → `%`, result: `URL.Path = /export/%2e%2e/siyuan.db`\n3. Go's path cleaner sees `%2e%2e` as literal characters (not `..`), no redirect occurs\n4. `url.PathUnescape(\"%2e%2e\")` decodes to `..`\n5. `filepath.Join(exportBaseDir, \"../siyuan.db\")` resolves to `<workspace>/temp/siyuan.db`\n\nThe CVE-2026-30869 fix added `IsSensitivePath()` which blocks `<workspace>/conf/` and OS-level paths (`/etc`, `/root`, etc.). However, it does NOT block:\n- `<workspace>/temp/siyuan.db` — full document database\n- `<workspace>/temp/blocktree.db` — block tree database\n- `<workspace>/temp/siyuan.log` — kernel log\n- `<workspace>/temp/asset_content.db` — asset content database\n\nNote: the `/appearance/` handler in the same file correctly uses `gulu.File.IsSubPath()` to validate paths (line 447), but this check is missing from the `/export/` handler.\n\n### PoC\n[poc.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/26866234/poc.zip)\nPlease extract the uploaded compressed file before proceeding\n\n1. docker compose up -d --build\n2. sh poc.sh\n\n<img width=\"550\" height=\"184\" alt=\"스크린샷 2026-04-19 오후 5 08 30\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6aea4334-0b5a-4f45-bd1f-ecfad61ba524\" />\n\n\n\n\n### Impact\n- Data exfiltration: An authenticated user (including low-privilege Publish/Reader users via the Publish service) can download the entire SQLite document database containing all blocks, documents, attributes, and full-text search indexes.\n- Information disclosure: Kernel log (`siyuan.log`) leaks internal server paths, versions, configuration details, and error messages.","published":"2026-04-24T18:56:54.001Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:20.011290498Z","cvss":null,"epss":{"score":0.00313,"percentile":0.23886,"asOf":"2026-08-14"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","name":"github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel","fixedVersion":"3.6.5"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/commit/bb481e1290c4a34255652ede85a546504505d2a7","label":"siyuan-note/siyuan@bb481e1"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/releases/tag/v3.6.5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/41xxx/CVE-2026-41894.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-hjh7-r5w8-5872"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-41894"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/commit/bb481e1290c4a34255652ede85a546504505d2a7"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-2h2p-mvfx-868w"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:20.011290498Z"}}
