CVE-2026-74799: Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Debugging Code in siyuan-note siyuan

0
Critical
Published: 08/17/2026 (08/17/2026, 11:04:35 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: siyuan-note
Product: siyuan

Description

SiYuan versions before 3.7.4 expose Go net/http/pprof debug endpoints without authentication when not running in exactly 'prod' mode. This allows attackers to access sensitive in-memory information such as AccessAuthCode and AI provider API keys via endpoints like /debug/pprof/heap. The vulnerability has a critical CVSS 4.0 score of 9.2.

Technical Analysis

SiYuan note-taking software prior to version 3.7.4 registers Go net/http/pprof debug endpoints including heap and goroutine dumps without requiring authentication if the --mode flag is not set to exactly 'prod'. This misconfiguration enables unauthorized access to debug endpoints such as /debug/pprof/heap, allowing attackers to extract sensitive in-memory secrets including AccessAuthCode and AI provider API keys. The vulnerability is identified as CVE-2026-74799 with a CVSS 4.0 score of 9.2, indicating a critical severity level. No official remediation or patch information is currently available, and no known exploits in the wild have been reported.

Potential Impact

Unauthorized attackers can access debug endpoints that expose sensitive in-memory data, including authentication codes and API keys, potentially leading to credential compromise and unauthorized use of AI provider services. The vulnerability does not require privileges or user interaction and can be exploited remotely over the network.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, ensure that SiYuan is run with the --mode flag set exactly to 'prod' to disable unauthenticated debug endpoints. Restrict network access to debug endpoints if possible.
