Unauthenticated document disclosure via wrong publish filter
Published Aug 18, 2026 · Updated Aug 18, 2026
Incorrect authorization in publish-mode endpoints in SiYuan before 3.7.4 allows remote attackers to read forbidden published documents. Eight reader-facing handlers in kernel/model/publish_access.go and inline graph and tag call sites use GetInvisiblePublishAccess, which enforces navigation visibility, instead of GetDisablePublishAccess, which is the check meant to block Disable=true notebooks and documents. No authentication or user interaction is required, but exposure is limited to content and metadata returned by publish-mode search, backlink, asset, criteria, recent-document, graph, and tag responses for items that remain Visible=true.

Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
