Frequently Asked Questions

1

Who can exploit this issue?

A user with publish-reader access can exploit it. If publish authentication is disabled, anyone who can reach the affected endpoint can send the malicious request.

2

What access and interaction are required for exploitation?

The attacker needs network access to the /api/icon/getDynamicIcon endpoint and must be able to submit a crafted content parameter. No victim interaction is required.

3

What is the impact of a successful attack?

A single request can invoke uncapped Sprig template functions such as until to exhaust memory. This can cause the kernel to OOM-kill the affected system or process, resulting in denial of service.

4

Which versions are affected?

SiYuan versions from v3.1.12 before v3.8.6 are affected.
