Exploitation Conditions

The vulnerable endpoints are part of SiYuan's HTTP API, which is network-accessible without authentication per the CVSS 4.0 PR:N rating - meaning no session, token, or user account is required to issue the POST requests. The primary limiting factor is block ID knowledge: SiYuan block IDs are application-internal identifiers that are not trivially guessable and must be obtained through prior exposure (e.g., shared links, exported content, or same-network sniffing). Exploitation is further bounded to attribute metadata (names, aliases, memos, custom fields) and does not yield document body text or attachments. Instances that are not internet-facing and are protected by network-layer controls are not practically exploitable without a foothold on the local network. The vulnerability is not conditional on any non-default configuration - any SiYuan instance running a version before 3.7.4 with network reachability is affected.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) places this vulnerability at high network reach with minimal attack prerequisites, which warrants attention. However, the confidentiality impact is capped at Low (VC:L) because only block attributes - not document body content - are exposed; this substantially limits data sensitivity unless custom fields contain secrets such as API keys or credentials. No EPSS data was provided in the intelligence feed, no CISA KEV listing exists, and no public proof-of-concept has been identified, all pointing to low current exploitation pressure. A significant practical constraint is that an attacker must supply valid block IDs, which are application-internal identifiers not easily enumerated without prior access or information leakage - this raises effective attack complexity beyond what the CVSS Low/None metrics formally capture. Deployments fully isolated behind a VPN or firewall with no internet exposure carry materially lower risk; internet-exposed SiYuan instances should treat this as higher priority.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network access to an exposed SiYuan instance crafts POST requests directly to /api/attr/getBlockAttrs or /api/attr/batchGetBlockAttrs, supplying block IDs obtained through prior reconnaissance - such as shared document links, browser history, or API enumeration. Without any session token or credential, the server returns attribute metadata for blocks inside documents the owner designated as protected, potentially including aliases, memos, and custom key-value fields that the owner assumed were private. No public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 12, 2026

Unauthenticated information disclosure in SiYuan versions before 3.7.4 allows retrieval of block attributes - names, aliases, memos, and custom fields - from documents protected by publish-access controls. The getBlockAttrs and batchGetBlockAttrs API endpoints accept POST requests with block IDs without verifying the caller's authorization against the parent document's access policy, directly bypassing the publish-access restriction (CWE-862). No active exploitation has been confirmed and no public proof-of-concept has been identified; impact is bounded to metadata exposure rather than full document content, but the unauthenticated network vector warrants prompt patching for internet-exposed instances.

RemediationAI

Upgrade SiYuan to version 3.7.4 or later, which enforces publish-access authorization on the getBlockAttrs and batchGetBlockAttrs endpoints. Full patch details are in the vendor GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-qvq9-hq6p-v378. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to SiYuan's API port at the firewall or reverse-proxy layer so that only trusted IP ranges or VPN-authenticated clients can reach the instance - this eliminates the unauthenticated network path and is the most effective compensating control. Do not rely on disabling the publish feature alone, as the underlying authorization gap is in the API handler logic, not in the publish toggle itself.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SiYuan is a self-hosted personal knowledge management and note-taking application (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:siyuan-note:siyuan) that organizes content as hierarchical blocks within documents. It exposes an HTTP API, and its publish-access feature controls which documents are externally accessible. The two vulnerable endpoints - getBlockAttrs and batchGetBlockAttrs - accept POST requests containing block IDs and return block-level metadata. CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) identifies the root cause: the server fulfills these requests without confirming whether the requesting party holds the required publish-access permission for the containing document. Because these endpoints sit within a path designed to serve published content, they apparently inherit no ambient authentication gate, making the authorization bypass network-reachable with no credentials.

DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to enforce publish-access checks in the getBlockAttrs and batchGetBlockAttrs endpoints. Attackers can retrieve block attributes including names, aliases, memos, and custom fields from protected documents by sending POST requests with block IDs.
