Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • A structured source references public exploit or proof-of-concept material.
  • EPSS is 0.11% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Validate the affected product branch and deploy the verified fixed release.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs siyuan-note siyuan and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Verify the installed build against the product-specific fixed version after deployment.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 3 daysRemediation target: Within 90 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

EUVD-2026-87736

No EUVD known-exploited evidence

SiYuan versions from v2.1.0 before v3.8.4 contain a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the CheckAuth lock-screen pass-through branch that grants administrator access to loopback requests without validating Origin headers. Attackers can craft malicious web pages that force victims to terminate the kernel process, read workspace configuration and proxy settings, and trigger administrative actions via zero-credential cross-origin requests from the victim's browser.

What, why and how

SiYuan versions from v2.1.0 before v3.8.4 contain a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the CheckAuth lock-screen pass-through branch that grants administrator access to loopback requests without validating Origin headers. Attackers can craft malicious web pages that force victims to terminate the kernel process, read workspace configuration and proxy settings, and trigger administrative actions via zero-credential cross-origin requests from the victim's browser.

What

SiYuan versions from v2.1.0 before v3.8.4 contain a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the CheckAuth lock-screen pass-through branch that grants administrator access to loopback requests without validating Origin headers. Attackers can craft malicious web pages that force victims to terminate the kernel process, read workspace configuration and proxy settings, and trigger administrative actions via zero-credential cross-origin requests from the victim's browser.

Why

The product does not properly verify that the source of data or communication is valid.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation when the stated preconditions are met. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

CISA Vulnrichment records proof-of-concept exploitation in its SSVC data. BlackTree has not independently executed or validated exploit material.
