CVE-2026-59809

MEDIUM 6.9

Published 2026-08-22 · Last modified 2026-08-22

SiYuan before v3.8.0 interpolates secret placeholders into the destination URL parameter of the http_request MCP tool, allowing attackers to exfiltrate stored secrets. An MCP client can craft a request with an attacker-controlled URL containing secret placeholders to send plaintext secret values to any public host without confirmation.
