About the affected product
CVE-2026-72794 affects the affected product. Before acting, confirm where the affected product runs in your estate, who owns it and whether it is reachable from the internet, because exposure decides real risk more than the score alone.
What the flaw is
In plain terms: 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.
Based on its CVSS vector, the flaw can be reached over the network, needs no login, and needs no user interaction. Apply the vendor fix and confirm exposure on internet facing and business critical assets first.

How to detect it
- Inventory every instance of the affected product and record the running version against the affected range above.
- Check external attack surface scans for internet facing instances of the component.
- Review logs on affected systems for unusual requests, errors or new processes around the vulnerable function.
- Confirm with an authenticated vulnerability scan once your scanner has a check for this CVE.
How to fix it
- Apply the fixed version of the affected product named in the vendor advisory.
- If patching must wait, restrict network access to the affected service and put it behind authentication or a web application firewall rule.
- Rescan after the change to prove the exposure is gone, then close the ticket.

The vulnerability exists in BLUVOYIX due to an improper password storage implementation and subsequent exposure via unauthenticated APIs. An unauthenticated remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted HTTP requests to the vulnerable users API to retrieve the plaintext passwords of all user users. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow the attacker to gain full access to customers' data and completely compromise the targeted platform by logging in using an exposed admin email address and password.
CWE‑522: Insufficiently Protected Credentials in web services in Progress Sitefinity version from 14.0.7700 to 14.4.8152, and 15.0.8200 to 15.0.8234, and 15.1.8300 to 15.1.8335, 15.2.8400 to 15.2.8441, 15.3.8500 to 15.3.8531, and 15.4.8600 to 15.4.8630 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain plain-text credentials used connect to Sitefinity Insight service. Successful exploitation requires active integration with Sitefinity Insight and non-default site configuration.
Coolify is an open-source and self-hostable tool for managing servers, applications, and databases. In Coolify versions prior to and including v4.0.0-beta.434, low privileged users are able to see the private key of the root user on the Coolify instance. This allows them to ssh to the server and authenticate as root user, using the private key. As of time of publication, it is unclear if a patch is available.
Flowise is a drag & drop user interface to build a customized large language model flow. Prior to version 3.1.2, the checkBasicAuth endpoint validates credentials in plaintext without rate limiting and with direct comparison. This issue has been patched in version 3.1.2.
Omnispace Agora Project before 26.10.0 contains a vulnerability where the persistent remember-me token is stored verbatim server-side, making the stored value identical to the bearer credential held in the user's cookie. Attackers who gain access to the stored token, such as through database or backup disclosure, can replay the plaintext value to authenticate as the victim user without needing their password.
Dataease is an open source data visualization analysis tool. Prior to version 2.10.19, DataEase uses the MD5 hash of the user’s password as the JWT signing secret. This deterministic secret derivation allows an attacker to brute-force the admin’s password by exploiting unmonitored API endpoints that verify JWT tokens. The vulnerability has been fixed in v2.10.19. No known workarounds are available.
