Unauthenticated document disclosure via publishing APIs
Published Mar 26, 2026 · Updated Mar 26, 2026
Information disclosure in the SiYuan publishing service before 3.6.2 allows remote attackers to read protected documents via HTTP APIs. The service exposes document identifiers through /api/file/readDir and accepts them at /api/block/getChildBlocks without enforcing publication or encryption restrictions. No authentication or user interaction is required, and the demonstrated consequence is reading all encrypted or otherwise prohibited documents in the publishing service.
