CVE-2026-72805Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Protected document disclosure via unchecked block endpoints

Published Aug 12, 2026 · Updated Aug 12, 2026

Missing authorization in SiYuan before 3.7.4 allows remote attackers to read protected document content and metadata through block APIs. The getBlockBreadcrumb, getRefText, and getBlockTreeInfos handlers return caller-selected block data without invoking checkBlockPublishAccess, unlike the gated getBlockInfo sibling. Publish mode must be enabled; anonymous access works when publish authentication is disabled, while any publish RoleReader can expose forbidden or password-protected titles, snippets, reference text, and path data with a known block ID.
