Hidden-document metadata disclosure via wrong access list
Published Aug 14, 2026 · Updated Aug 14, 2026
Incorrect authorization in SiYuan before 3.7.4 allows remote attackers to disclose hidden document metadata through published backlinks. FilterAttributeViewBacklinksByPublishAccess calls GetDisablePublishAccess, so hidden documents are omitted from the ignore list and returned for a public row identifier. Anonymous publish-mode access is sufficient; the response exposes database names, row titles, and document paths, but not document bodies or write access.
