AI-suggested
Upgrade SiYuan to version 3.8.4 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. If you cannot patch yet, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and avoid using the in-app Agent or external MCP server for recursive file operations on sensitive paths. No other vendor advisories indicate alternative mitigations or that the issue is already mitigated.
Description
SiYuan versions 3.8.0 through 3.8.3 contain an authorization bypass vulnerability in the MCP file tool's sensitive-path guard. The guard is applied only to the root of recursive operations but not to each descendant path, allowing an authenticated administrator to bypass protections on sensitive files and directories. This enables actions such as reading, copying, and overwriting protected files without proper confirmation. The issue is fixed in version 3.8.4.
