Title
Trilium Notes: Authentication Bypass in Clipper API for Electron (Desktop) Builds
Summary
Trilium Notes is a cross-platform, hierarchical note taking application focused on building large personal knowledge bases. In versions 0.102.1 and prior, the Clipper API in Trilium Desktop (v0.101.3) allows full authentication bypass when running in an Electron environment. When Trilium detects an Electron environment, it explicitly disables authentication middleware for the Clipper API, exposing endpoints such as /api/clipper/notes to the network with no password, API token, or CSRF protection. An attacker on a shared network (for example, a corporate LAN or public Wi-Fi) can scan for open high-range ports using a tool like nmap, since Trilium often binds to ports such as 37840. Once a candidate port is found, an unauthenticated request to the Clipper handshake endpoint, which also bypasses authentication, confirms a Trilium instance by returning the application name and protocol version. This facilitates unauthorized data access, phishing, and local system compromise. The issue has been fixed in version 0.102.2.

"value": "Trilium Notes es una aplicaci\u00f3n de toma de notas jer\u00e1rquica y multiplataforma centrada en la construcci\u00f3n de grandes bases de conocimiento personales. En las versiones 0.102.1 y anteriores, la API Clipper en Trilium Desktop (v0.101.3) permite una omisi\u00f3n completa de la autenticaci\u00f3n cuando se ejecuta en un entorno Electron. Cuando Trilium detecta un entorno Electron, deshabilita expl\u00edcitamente el middleware de autenticaci\u00f3n para la API Clipper, exponiendo puntos finales como /api/clipper/notes a la red sin contrase\u00f1a, token de API o protecci\u00f3n CSRF. Un atacante en una red compartida (por ejemplo, una LAN corporativa o Wi-Fi p\u00fablica) puede escanear en busca de puertos abiertos de alto rango utilizando una herramienta como nmap, ya que Trilium a menudo se enlaza a puertos como el 37840. Una vez que se encuentra un puerto candidato, una solicitud no autenticada al punto final de handshake de Clipper, que tambi\u00e9n omite la autenticaci\u00f3n, confirma una instancia de Trilium al devolver el nombre de la aplicaci\u00f3n y la versi\u00f3n del protocolo. Esto facilita el acceso no autorizado a datos, el phishing y el compromiso del sistema local. El problema ha sido solucionado en la versi\u00f3n 0.102.2."

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
