MITRE ATT&CK

2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires that the target SiYuan instance has the publish feature enabled and is serving content to publish readers (read-only role context, IsReadOnlyRoleContext) - the vulnerable code path only fires for that role. The attacker must first obtain an unrendered attribute-view (database) identifier through a related endpoint to supply as avID. Exploitation is limited to leaking detached-row image asset paths and filenames from databases the publish configuration should have excluded; it does not expose image binaries, other row data, or writeable access. Instances not using publish mode, or that do not expose the publish endpoint to untrusted readers, are not exposed.

Impact

This is a genuine but modest-severity information-disclosure flaw. The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N, base 6.9) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with only LOW confidentiality impact and no integrity/availability effect - consistent with CWE-200 and the description, which limits the leak to image asset paths and filenames rather than image contents or database records. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided; per the precision rules this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The vendor patch (commit 48229dc7) is confirmed available and adds a top-level publish-access gate plus a regression test, and the finding was reported by VulnCheck with a GitHub Security Advisory (GHSA-j9p6-5639-gf4f), so the vulnerability itself is well-substantiated. The practical caveat that tempers the raw score: exploitation only matters when SiYuan's publish feature is active and exposing databases to publish readers, and the leak is metadata (paths/filenames), not the assets themselves. Net: real and worth patching, but not an urgent widespread-exploitation priority - a high-confidence, low-impact issue rather than a high-CVSS-but-fictional one.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An operator publishes a SiYuan workspace, granting publish readers access to a subset of notebooks/databases. A publish reader (or anyone who can reach the public publish endpoint) obtains an unrendered attribute-view (database) identifier via a related endpoint, then calls getCurrentAttrViewImages with that avID to retrieve image asset paths and filenames belonging to detached rows in databases the rendering endpoint would otherwise deny. No public POC is referenced, but the patched regression test demonstrates the exact leak path.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 28, 2026

Information disclosure in SiYuan before v3.8.4 allows publish readers to retrieve image asset paths and filenames from attribute-view (database) rows that the publish configuration should have hidden. The getCurrentAttrViewImages endpoint skips the database-level publish-access check that its sibling rendering endpoint enforces, so an attacker who first obtains an unrendered database identifier from a related endpoint can supply it as avID and receive asset paths for detached rows. The flaw is remotely reachable without authentication (CVSS PR:N) and rated CVSS 6.9 (confidentiality-only, low impact); no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV, though the vendor has released v3.8.4 to correct it.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to SiYuan v3.8.4 or later; this is a vendor-released patch and the corrective change is the commit at https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/commit/48229dc76ce4212fe42295393af617947b157c15, described in advisory GHSA-j9p6-5639-gf4f. Because the vulnerable code path only executes in a read-only publish context, organizations that cannot upgrade immediately can reduce exposure by disabling the publish feature entirely or, more selectively, by disabling publish access for any database (attribute view) that contains image assets in detached rows - the trade-off is that legitimate publish readers lose access to those databases. Do not expose the publish endpoint to untrusted or anonymous audiences until patched; where publish must remain enabled, restrict it to authenticated/trusted readers and monitor for calls to /api/av/getCurrentAttrViewImages that reference attribute-view IDs not present in the published document set. Note that these are compensating controls only: they do not remediate the missing authorization check, and the leak is limited to asset paths and filenames rather than image binaries, so no data-integrity or availability impact is expected.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SiYuan is a Go-based personal knowledge-management application whose kernel exposes a Gin HTTP API; the affected handler is GetCurrentAttributeViewImages in kernel/model/attribute_view.go. Attribute views ("databases") are stored as av.AttributeView structures containing key-value collections, and MAsset-type fields hold references to image assets on disk. The vulnerable endpoint iterates rows and extracts asset paths, but unlike renderAttributeView it lacked a top-level call to CheckAttributeViewBlockAccessableByPublishAccess guarded by IsReadOnlyRoleContext. Because filtering was performed per row, detached rows (IsDetached=true, not bound to a carrier document) were treated as accessible, so when no database-level gate existed the handler leaked asset paths from unauthorized databases. This is a classic CWE-200 information-exposure / missing-authorization-check-on-a-secondary-code-path issue: two endpoints read the same data model but only one performed the access-control check. The vendor fix (commit 48229dc76ce4212fe42295393af617947b157c15) adds the same top-level publish-access gate used by the rendering path and retains per-row filtering as a second layer; the accompanying test TestGetCurrentAttributeViewImagesPublishAccess demonstrates a detached row carrying assets/secret-image-20260101000000-abcdefg.png being blocked when the carrier document is publish-disabled or password-protected.

DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan before v3.8.4 fails to enforce publish-access checks in the getCurrentAttrViewImages endpoint, allowing publish readers to retrieve image asset paths from unauthorized databases. Attackers can call the endpoint with an unrendered database identifier obtained through related endpoints to leak detached-row image asset paths and filenames that the rendering endpoint would deny.
