MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that a SiYuan instance (before v3.7.4) publishes an attribute view to anonymous readers and that the published database contains a Relation or Rollup column referencing a hidden or password-protected database; the attacker then requests that published database to retrieve the related restricted content. The row-filter bypass specifically requires the targeted view to have a non-block type as its first column. Exploitation is remote and unauthenticated (PR:N/UI:N) with low complexity, but it is limited to data reachable through published views - an instance that does not expose attribute views to anonymous readers, or whose published views do not relate to restricted databases, is not exposed regardless of version. |
| Impact | This is a genuine high-priority issue rather than an inflated CVSS number: the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) describes fully remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity access with no user interaction, and the impact profile is a pure confidentiality breach (VC:H, SC:H) affecting a subsequent system - the restricted database whose secrets leak into a published one - with no integrity or availability impact, which is consistent with the described information-disclosure behavior. There is no CISA KEV listing and no EPSS score supplied here, and no public exploit has been identified, so the realistic exposure hinges on whether an instance actually publishes attribute views to anonymous readers; anyone running a public SiYuan publishing endpoint that relates to hidden or password-protected data is directly exposed, and even a mid-sized municipal IT team in koszalin running such a public workspace should treat this as urgent because exploitation needs only crafted requests and no credentials. The main uncertainty is deployment-dependent: the score assumes a published, internet-reachable workspace, so an instance that never exposes databases to anonymous readers faces materially lower real-world risk despite the 9.2 rating. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker browses a publicly published SiYuan workspace and requests a published database that contains a Relation or Rollup column referencing a private, password-protected database. The server renders the related values without re-checking access, returning the protected Relation/Rollup contents to the anonymous visitor, and by targeting a view whose first column is a non-block type the attacker also retrieves rows that row-filtering should have hidden. No credentials, tooling, or user interaction are required; no public proof-of-concept has been identified. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 12, 2026
Sensitive data disclosure in SiYuan note-taking application before v3.7.4 lets anonymous readers of a published workspace pull Relation and Rollup cell contents out of hidden or password-protected databases. Because renderAttributeView does not re-check authorization on the related database, an unauthenticated visitor can request a published attribute view that references a restricted database and read its protected values, and can bypass row-level filtering entirely when the first column is a non-block type. Reported by VulnCheck with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.2; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to SiYuan v3.7.4 or later, which corrects the authorization checks in renderAttributeView (Vendor-released patch: v3.7.4), as documented in the vendor advisory GHSA-mfrj-v65r-979c (https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-mfrj-v65r-979c). Until the upgrade is applied, reduce exposure by not publishing attribute views that contain Relation or Rollup columns pointing at hidden or password-protected databases, and by removing anonymous/public read access to the publishing endpoint or placing it behind authentication or a network restriction - the trade-off is that legitimate anonymous readers lose access to the published workspace. As an additional interim measure, avoid using non-block first columns in views that rely on row filtering to withhold sensitive rows, since that configuration defeats the filter; note this changes how affected tables render and is only a stopgap until v3.7.4 is deployed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
SiYuan is an open-source, self-hostable personal knowledge-management and Markdown note-taking application whose 'attribute views' provide Notion-style database tables. Relation columns link one database to another and Rollup columns aggregate values pulled across that link. The flaw is in the renderAttributeView routine, which resolves and renders those related-database values without re-applying the access controls (hidden/password protection and row filters) that the referenced database is supposed to enforce. This is a classic CWE-862 Missing Authorization defect: an authorization decision that is enforced when the database is accessed directly is silently skipped on the cross-reference rendering path, so data crosses a trust boundary. A secondary logic error causes row-filtering to be bypassed when the first column of the view is a non-block type. The affected component is siyuan-note:siyuan (all versions prior to v3.7.4).

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to properly filter related-database content in renderAttributeView, allowing anonymous readers to access Relation and Rollup cell contents from hidden or password-protected databases. Attackers can request published databases that relate to restricted databases to retrieve sensitive content, or bypass row filtering entirely when the first column is a non-block type.

Executive ViewAI
SiYuan note-taking application versions before 3.7.4 expose sensitive data stored in password-protected databases to unauthenticated attackers through published workspace attribute views. Any organization using SiYuan to manage confidential information with public sharing enabled faces immediate risk of unauthorized data disclosure without remediation.
Immediately restrict or disable public workspace sharing until SiYuan v3.7.4 or later is available; segment SiYuan instances from untrusted networks; enforce granular role-based access controls limiting workspace publishing privileges; disable attribute view functionality if operationally feasible; implement continuous monitoring of attribute view API requests for anomalous access patterns.
