Private document-tree disclosure via ungated path resolution
Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026
Missing authorization in SiYuan before 3.7.4 allows remote attackers to disclose private document paths through publish-mode APIs. Five filetree handlers resolve arbitrary IDs and human-readable paths without applying publish-access checks, exposing titles, notebook names, storage paths, and document IDs. Reachability requires publish mode; anonymous access additionally requires Publish.Auth.Enable to be false, while any publish reader token is sufficient.
