CVE-2026-100635: SiYuan before v3.8.4 Authentication Bypass via Plaintext Session Cookie

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.32% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: siyuan-note siyuan 3.8.4.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to siyuan-note siyuan 3.8.4 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

SiYuan before v3.8.4 contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the publish service where session cookies are issued without Secure or SameSite attributes over plaintext HTTP connections. An on-path attacker can observe a valid publish-visitor-session-id cookie from a Basic Auth exchange and replay it to access authenticated publish endpoints without knowing the account password.
