MEDIUMCVSS 6.8/10

Last modified

CVE-2026-116166 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.8/10 on the CVSS scale. SiYuan 3.6.0 before 3.8.7 accepts and persists the networkServeTLS setting but never enforces it, so the kernel port keeps serving full API access over plain HTTP alongside HTTPS. Network-adjacent attackers can sniff the cleartext login flow and session cookie, which lacks the Secure attribute while responses omit HSTS, to hijack kernel API sessions..
