Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the SiYuan instance has the publish feature enabled and contains at least one document configured as publish-forbidden or password-protected. The attacker must have network-level access to the SiYuan HTTP API (default port 6806). The CVSS 4.0 PR:N metric confirms no authentication is required - anonymous users with no account can exploit this. The attacker must supply valid block IDs, which may require prior enumeration or guessing, representing the primary practical barrier. Exploitation is bounded in impact: only metadata and content snippets (titles, ancestor block text, reference text, path metadata) are leaked - full document content exfiltration is not confirmed. Deployments that do not use the publish feature, that restrict API access to localhost or a trusted network, or that are running v3.7.4 or later are not at risk.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N accurately captures the key risk profile: network-accessible, no authentication, no complexity barrier, with low confidentiality impact to both the vulnerable and subsequent systems. The low confidentiality rating is appropriate - the leaked data is metadata and content snippets rather than full plaintext document bodies, limiting the blast radius of any single exploitation. No EPSS score was included in the provided intelligence, and there is no CISA KEV entry, meaning active exploitation is not confirmed. No public exploit code was referenced, reducing near-term opportunistic risk. Real-world priority is moderate for organizations running network-exposed SiYuan instances with publish controls in use; the missing authorization class (CWE-862) is typically straightforward to exploit once block IDs are known or guessable. Deployments bound to localhost, behind a firewall, or not using the publish feature carry negligible practical risk despite the network-level vector.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network access to a SiYuan instance sends unauthenticated HTTP requests to the getBlockBreadcrumb, getRefText, or getBlockTreeInfos API endpoints, supplying block IDs that may be guessed, enumerated, or previously observed. The server returns document titles, breadcrumb path metadata, ancestor block content snippets, and reference text for documents whose owners configured them as publish-forbidden or password-protected. No publicly available exploit code has been identified, but the attack requires only HTTP request crafting and knowledge of valid block IDs.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 12, 2026

Unauthorized information disclosure in SiYuan exposes protected document metadata and content snippets via three unenforced API endpoints - getBlockBreadcrumb, getRefText, and getBlockTreeInfos - in all versions before v3.7.4. Unauthenticated network actors or low-privilege RoleReader accounts can bypass publish-access controls on documents explicitly marked as publish-forbidden or password-protected, retrieving titles, ancestor block content snippets, reference text, and path metadata by supplying block IDs. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis; vendor patch is available in v3.7.4.

RemediationAI

Upgrade SiYuan to v3.7.4 or later; this is the primary and recommended fix, as confirmed by the vendor GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-67x2-mq63-v9vm. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the SiYuan API server (default port 6806) by binding it to localhost or applying firewall rules to allow access only from trusted hosts - this removes the network attack vector entirely but will break any legitimate remote publish or sharing workflows. There is no known configuration-level workaround that preserves publish functionality while blocking exploitation without the patch, since the missing authorization checks are internal to the endpoint logic. Password-protecting documents alone is insufficient as a mitigation, given the vulnerability bypasses exactly those protection controls.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SiYuan is a privacy-first personal knowledge management (PKM) and note-taking application (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:siyuan-note:siyuan:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) that exposes a local HTTP API server for its block-based document model, with optional publish functionality allowing documents to be shared with per-document access controls such as publish-forbidden status and password protection. The root cause is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the three affected endpoints - getBlockBreadcrumb, getRefText, and getBlockTreeInfos - serve navigational and cross-reference data from the block tree but omit the authorization gate that should verify whether the calling user is permitted to view the underlying document. Because publish-access checks are absent at the endpoint level, the block data is returned regardless of the document's protection status. An attacker needs only a valid block ID, which functions as the sole implicit identifier, and the protection layer is entirely bypassed.

DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to enforce publish-access checks on getBlockBreadcrumb, getRefText, and getBlockTreeInfos endpoints, allowing disclosure of protected document content and metadata. Anonymous readers or publish RoleReader accounts can retrieve document titles, ancestor block content snippets, reference text, and path metadata for publish-forbidden or password-protected documents by supplying block IDs.
