CVE-2026-85175
Published:September 03, 2026
Updated:September 22, 2026
SiYuan versions <= 3.8.1 (fixed in v3.8.2) contain an incomplete blocklist in the IsForbiddenAbsPath() function (kernel/util/path_guard.go), which only blocks conf/conf.json by exact match and does not restrict the TLS private key (conf/key.pem) or CA private key (conf/ca.key) stored in the same conf/ directory. Because the getFile handler skips the blocklist for RoleAdministrator and all authenticated users receive RoleAdministrator in v3.8.1, any user (or any client on a default no-auth-code instance) can retrieve these private keys via POST /api/file/getFile. On deployments with TLS enabled, this allows decryption of captured HTTPS traffic (key.pem) and forging of certificates trusted by clients that imported SiYuan's CA (ca.key).
