2DescriptionCVE.org
SiYuan versions up to and including v3.7.2 (fixed in v3.7.4) contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the /api/asset/getFileAnnotation endpoint, which returns .sya PDF-annotation file content without a publish-access check. Because the endpoint is gated only by CheckAuth (unlike the /assets/* route, which enforces publish access and password), an anonymous reader (when publish authentication is disabled) or any publish RoleReader who knows an asset path can read the private PDF annotations (highlights and notes) of publish-forbidden, password-protected, or unpublished documents. The issue is limited to non-encrypted notebooks; encrypted-box annotations are not exposed.
AnalysisAI
PDF annotation content in SiYuan through v3.7.2 is exposed without authorization via the /api/asset/getFileAnnotation endpoint, which applies only the generic CheckAuth middleware rather than the publish-access controls enforced on the /assets/* route. When publish authentication is disabled, anonymous readers can retrieve .sya annotation files containing private highlights and notes from password-protected, unpublished, or publish-forbidden documents simply by knowing a valid asset path; authenticated publish RoleReaders face the same missing check. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires SiYuan's publish feature to be network-accessible and at least one of two conditions to hold: either publish authentication is disabled (enabling fully anonymous access) or the attacker possesses a valid publish RoleReader credential. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) classifies this as network-exploitable with no authentication and no user interaction required, which represents the worst-case deployment scenario where publish authentication is disabled. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with knowledge of or ability to enumerate a valid SiYuan asset path sends an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to /api/asset/getFileAnnotation with the target .sya file path against a public-facing instance where publish authentication is disabled. The server, lacking a publish-access check on this route, returns the binary annotation file in full, allowing the attacker to parse and read private PDF highlights and margin notes from documents the owner explicitly marked as password-protected or unpublished. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade SiYuan to v3.7.4 or later; this release introduces the missing publish-access check on the /api/asset/getFileAnnotation endpoint, aligning it with the controls already applied to /assets/*. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
