DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 contain a publish-boundary bypass vulnerability in WebSocket broadcast sessions that allows anonymous readers to receive unfiltered edits. Attackers can establish a WebSocket connection to the publish surface and passively receive real-time content events including password-protected and forbidden documents without authentication.

AnalysisAI

Unauthorized disclosure of private content in SiYuan (siyuan-note) versions before v3.7.4 lets anonymous, unauthenticated clients subscribe to the WebSocket broadcast channel on the publish surface and receive real-time editing events for every document, including password-protected and explicitly forbidden ones. Reported by VulnCheck and documented in the vendor's GHSA advisory, the flaw is a missing authorization (CWE-862) check on broadcast sessions rather than a memory-corruption bug. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target SiYuan instance must have the publish surface enabled and network-reachable by the attacker; exploitation requires establishing a WebSocket connection to that publish broadcast endpoint. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are largely consistent and point to real, easily realizable confidentiality risk: the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes remote, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with no user interaction, and VC:H/SC:H reflects high confidentiality impact extending beyond the immediately targeted data. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker locates an internet-facing SiYuan publish surface and opens a WebSocket connection to its broadcast endpoint without supplying any credentials. As legitimate users edit their workspace, the attacker passively receives the live stream of content-change events - including from password-protected and forbidden documents - silently exfiltrating private notes with no interaction from the victim. …
Remediation Vendor-released patch: v3.7.4 - upgrade all SiYuan instances to v3.7.4 or later as the primary fix, per GHSA-mw8r-mw84-88v2 (https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-mw8r-mw84-88v2). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, audit SiYuan deployment exposure by identifying all instances accessible from public networks and immediately restrict network access to the publish WebSocket endpoint through firewall rules or VPN requirements pending a vendor patch. …
