Denial of service via unbounded process registration

Published Sep 4, 2026 · Updated Sep 4, 2026

Denial of service in SiYuan before 3.8.2 allows remote attackers to exhaust process memory through unauthenticated API requests. The /api/system/uiproc handler registers each supplied identifier in a global in-memory registry without authentication, expiry, or a size limit. Repeated requests with unique identifiers require no account or workspace access and can degrade or deny the kernel service without altering documents.
