Last modified

CVE-2026-116171 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. SiYuan 3.5.4 before 3.8.7 on Windows contains a sensitive-path denylist bypass in IsSensitivePath because the Windows extended-length prefix (\\?\) survives filepath.Clean and matches no forbidden prefix. Authenticated API callers can prepend the prefix to localPath in /api/import/importStdMd to copy workspace conf files, including the API token and TLS private keys, into assets served to unauthenticated clients.. EPSS estimates a 0.56% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
