Exploitation Conditions

The SiYuan instance's /api/block/getBlockInfo endpoint must be reachable over the network by the attacker - no special network position is required if the instance is internet-exposed. The attacker must supply a valid block ID referencing a publish-excluded document; block IDs are opaque identifiers that may require enumeration. Exploitation is possible with zero credentials: the description explicitly states anonymous readers (no token) or holders of a publish RoleReader token can trigger the disclosure. What limits exploitation: the disclosure is metadata-only (title, path, icon, root ID) and does not expose document body content; the attacker must know or enumerate valid block IDs; instances deployed exclusively on internal networks without internet exposure are not reachable by external anonymous attackers.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N reflects that this is a trivially accessible, unauthenticated endpoint requiring only a valid block ID. The impact is bounded strictly to metadata - title, path, root ID, icon - not document body content, which limits the blast radius substantially compared to a full content disclosure. No EPSS score was provided in the input, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified precisely. The absence of a KEV listing and no known POC suggests this has not been leveraged in observed attacks. The primary realistic risk is enumeration of sensitive document titles and organizational hierarchy from a deliberately restricted knowledge base, which could facilitate targeted social engineering or reveal confidential project names. This is a genuine authorization control bypass, but real-world impact depends on the sensitivity of the document metadata and the exposure of the SiYuan instance to untrusted networks.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An external attacker with no credentials queries GET /api/block/getBlockInfo?id=<blockID> against a network-exposed SiYuan instance using a block ID obtained through enumeration or prior knowledge. The server returns the full document root metadata - including title, notebook, path, and root ID - for a document the administrator explicitly excluded from publishing. The attacker can repeat this process across multiple block IDs to reconstruct the hidden document structure of the knowledge base.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 03, 2026

Metadata disclosure in SiYuan before v3.7.3 exposes document titles, notebook paths, root IDs, and icons for administrator-restricted documents via the unauthenticated /api/block/getBlockInfo endpoint. The publish-access control flag is never checked server-side before returning document root metadata, making this a complete bypass of SiYuan's per-document publish exclusion feature. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis and no KEV listing exists, but the CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:N, AC:L) confirms exploitation requires no credentials and no special conditions against the network-facing API.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: SiYuan v3.7.3. Upgrade to v3.7.3 or later, which introduces proper authorization enforcement on the /api/block/getBlockInfo endpoint. The vendor security advisory is at https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-pm3w-vxp9-ccwc. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to the /api/block/ endpoint family at the reverse proxy or firewall layer by requiring session authentication before requests reach the API - this trades off API availability for unauthenticated publish consumers but eliminates unauthenticated metadata access. Alternatively, place the SiYuan instance behind a VPN or restrict it to internal network segments, preventing untrusted external callers from reaching the endpoint entirely until the patch is applied.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SiYuan (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:siyuan-note:siyuan:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a self-hosted personal knowledge management and note-taking application with a built-in publishing feature that allows administrators to selectively expose or exclude documents from public view. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the /api/block/getBlockInfo API handler retrieves and serializes document root metadata - including title, notebook, path, root block ID, and icon - without consulting the publish-access permission model that governs whether a given document should be visible to external consumers. The authorization check exists at the publishing layer for rendered content but is absent at the raw API data layer, leaving a gap that any caller with a valid block ID can exploit regardless of role or session state.

DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan versions before v3.7.3 contain a metadata disclosure vulnerability in the /api/block/getBlockInfo endpoint that returns document root metadata including title for publish-forbidden documents without publish-access checks. Anonymous readers or publish RoleReader tokens can supply a block ID to retrieve the title, notebook, path, root ID, and icon of documents administrators marked as excluded from publishing.
