Summary
SiYuan before v3.7.4 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the /api/filetree/authFilePublishAccess endpoint, which is registered with CheckAuth only and is reachable anonymously. The endpoint never sets a failure code, so its outcome is signalled entirely by the response message and by the presence of a Set-Cookie header, and these signals differ across access tiers. An anonymous attacker can distinguish whether a document is public/nonexistent, password-protected, or exists at the hidden or forbidden tier, thereby confirming the existence of documents they are not permitted to access.
Risk Assessment
An anonymous attacker can confirm the existence of hidden or forbidden documents, violating confidentiality and potentially enabling further attacks.
Recommendation
Update SiYuan to version v3.7.4 or later. Also consider adding proper access controls to the endpoint.
Other vulnerabilities in SiYuan
See all- CVE-2026-103763Medium
SiYuan before v3.8.5 contains an information disclosure vulnerability that allows read-only publish readers to learn metadata of publish-excluded documents through the getNotebookInfo endpoint. Attackers, including anonymous visitors when no reader password is set, can query publish-visible notebooks to obtain document count, size and modification timestamps of hidden documents.
- CVE-2026-100636High
SiYuan versions before v3.8.4 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the exportBrowserHTML endpoint that allows authenticated administrators to write arbitrary HTML content to index.html outside the workspace directory. Attackers can supply a folder parameter with directory traversal sequences to escape the export directory and overwrite index.html in any pre-existing kernel-writable location, enabling stored XSS or workspace defacement.
- CVE-2026-92986High
SiYuan before 3.8.4 renders document titles as HTML in the backlink dock tree without escaping markup characters. Attackers can set malicious titles through the rename API or crafted notebooks to execute scripts in the Electron renderer with access to child_process for command execution.
- CVE-2026-92985High
SiYuan versions before 3.8.4 fail to escape bookmark labels imported from notebook files when rendering them in the dock tree. Attackers can craft malicious .sy notebook files with unescaped HTML in bookmark attributes that execute scripts in the Electron renderer with access to child_process for command execution.
- CVE-2026-45371High
SiYuan is a knowledge management system that prior to version 3.7.0 had security vulnerabilities related to 8 ungated APIs that could modify configuration and SQL index. Users with a valid JWT token could access these APIs, leading to unauthorized changes to server state.
- CVE-2026-41894High
SiYuan is an open-source personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.6.5, the fix for CVE-2026-30869 only added a denylist check but did not address the root cause – a redundant url.PathUnescape() call in serveExport(). An authenticated attacker can use double URL encoding to traverse directories and read arbitrary workspace files including the full SQLite database, kernel log, and all user documents.
- CVE-2026-84803Critical
SiYuan before version 3.8.2 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in asset serving due to an incomplete extension blocklist that misses script-capable file types. Attackers can upload files with extensions like .xht, .ehtml, .xsl, .xbl, or .rdf that resolve to executable media types and execute JavaScript to steal API tokens and compromise workspaces.
- CVE-2026-77086Critical
SiYuan before v3.7.4 fails to validate the packageName parameter in Bazaar install and uninstall endpoints, allowing authenticated administrators to perform path traversal. Attackers with admin access can write arbitrary files or recursively delete directories by supplying crafted packageName values.
- CVE-2026-74800Critical
SiYuan before v3.7.4 fails to set Content-Disposition and X-Content-Type-Options headers when serving arbitrary file assets, allowing stored cross-site scripting attacks. Authenticated attackers can upload HTML files as assets and execute scripts with full kernel API access when the workspace owner opens the asset link.
- CVE-2026-74799Critical
SiYuan before 3.7.4 registers Go net/http/pprof debug endpoints including heap and goroutine dumps without authentication when --mode flag is not set to exactly prod. Attackers can access /debug/pprof/heap and related endpoints to extract in-memory secrets including AccessAuthCode and AI provider API keys.
Original NVD description (English source)
SiYuan before v3.7.4 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in the /api/filetree/authFilePublishAccess endpoint, which is registered with CheckAuth only and is reachable anonymously. The endpoint never sets a failure code, so its outcome is signalled entirely by the response message and by the presence of a Set-Cookie header, and these signals differ across access tiers. By submitting requests with an empty password for a candidate document identifier, an anonymous attacker can distinguish whether a document is public/nonexistent, password-protected, or exists at the hidden or forbidden tier, thereby confirming the existence of documents they are not permitted to access. Because hidden and forbidden entries store an empty password, such requests also cause the server to issue a publish-auth cookie for forbidden documents.
