Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)
- 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: 0.34% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: siyuan-note siyuan 3.8.10.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to siyuan-note siyuan 3.8.10 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
SiYuan 3.7.0 before 3.8.10 on Windows contains a path traversal vulnerability in kernel/util/webfetch.go that allows attackers to write files outside the import directory via backslash-encoded filenames. Attackers controlling a URL fetched by the MCP web_fetch or http_request tools can use %5C-encoded ..\ sequences to write chosen response bytes to directories above temp/import that are writable by the SiYuan user.
