Arbitrary file write via multipart filename traversal
Published Mar 19, 2026 · Updated Mar 19, 2026
Path traversal in SiYuan 3.6.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to write files outside the import directory. The importSY and importZipMd handlers join an unsanitized multipart filename to the temporary import path and open the resolved path for writing. An administrator API token is required; writable workspace or application files can be overwritten, and a root-run container permits code execution.
