Secret disclosure via unauthenticated pprof endpoints
Published Aug 17, 2026 · Updated Aug 17, 2026
Information disclosure in SiYuan before 3.7.4 allows remote attackers to read in-memory secrets via exposed /debug/pprof endpoints. The serveDebug() function mounts Go net/http/pprof handlers on the main gin engine with no model.CheckAuth or other authentication middleware, and it suppresses them only when --mode is exactly prod. Exposure requires the service to start with --mode set to dev or any other non-prod value; once reachable, heap and goroutine dumps can reveal AccessAuthCode, AI provider API keys, and other live process data.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
