CVE-2026-73056 – SiYuan kernel before 3.7.4 Unthrottled Brute-Force via API Token

​CVE ID :CVE-2026-73056

Published : Aug. 16, 2026, 2:16 p.m. | 4 hours, 31 minutes ago

Description :SiYuan kernel versions before 3.7.4 contain an improper restriction of excessive authentication attempts vulnerability in the CheckAuth() middleware. The middleware accepts the API token (Conf.Api.Token) via an Authorization header (Token/Bearer) or a ?token= query parameter, and neither path is protected by the application’s CAPTCHA/lockout mechanism (NeedCaptcha/WrongAuthCount). As a result, an unauthenticated remote attacker can perform unlimited automated guesses of the API token, particularly when a short or weak custom token has been configured, and upon success gains full RoleAdministrator access enabling arbitrary file operations and SQL queries.

Severity: 9.8 | CRITICAL
