Unauthorized document disclosure via unfiltered embed queries
Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026
Missing authorization in SiYuan before 3.7.4 allows remote attackers to read restricted document blocks through publish-mode APIs. The getBlockDOMWithEmbed and getBlockDOMsWithEmbed handlers pass embed-query matches to resolveEmbedContentInBox, which inserts their HTML without applying publish-access or password filters. Publish mode and a published block whose embed query matches protected content are required; anonymous access applies when publish authentication is disabled.
