Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
SiYuan before v3.7.4 is missing authorization checks in 17 block metadata/content endpoints in kernel/api/block.go (including getRefText, checkBlockExist, and getBlockBreadcrumb). These handlers are gated only by basic authentication (model.CheckAuth) and lack publish-access filtering, allowing anonymous publish-mode readers to disclose private block content-derived text, structural metadata, and existence information for arbitrary block IDs across the workspace.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated information disclosure in SiYuan before v3.7.4 exposes private knowledge-base content to anonymous publish-mode readers through 17 insufficiently protected block API endpoints in kernel/api/block.go. Remote attackers without credentials can enumerate arbitrary block IDs to retrieve private text content, structural metadata, and block existence information across the entire workspace. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires publish mode to be explicitly enabled on the target SiYuan instance - this is a non-default setting that must be deliberately activated by the workspace owner; default authenticated-only deployments are not affected. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H) accurately reflects the high confidentiality impact, though the AT:N designation slightly overstates universality because publish mode must be explicitly enabled - a non-default configuration that meaningfully narrows the exposed population. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker discovers a network-accessible SiYuan instance running in publish mode and, without any credentials, iterates or guesses block IDs - which follow a known structured format - to query endpoints such as /api/block/getRefText and /api/block/getBlockBreadcrumb via standard HTTP requests. The API returns private block text, cross-reference relationships, and hierarchical breadcrumb paths for blocks the workspace owner intended to keep private. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade SiYuan to v3.7.4 or later, which introduces the missing publish-access authorization checks across all 17 affected block API endpoints; details are in the vendor advisory at https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-4vpg-gwqq-w44c and VulnCheck's coverage at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/siyuan-before-missing-authorization-via-block-api. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
