CVE-2026-72794

NVD analysis in progress

siyuan versions before v3.7.4 expose the session cookie signing key through the /api/system/getConf endpoint to unauthenticated users in publish mode. Attackers can retrieve the CookieKey value and forge valid session cookies to impersonate users or gain administrative access.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data. The impact spreads beyond the vulnerable component into other parts of the system.
Weakness
Credentials are stored without adequate protection.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
