Sensitive-file disclosure via unguarded history routes
Published Aug 30, 2026 · Updated Aug 30, 2026
Missing authorization in SiYuan 3.8.0 allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive historical files through two HTTP routes. The /history/*path and /repo/diff/*path handlers construct snapshot paths and serve files without applying the IsForbiddenAbsPath guard. Exploitation requires administrator authentication and an existing snapshot containing protected data; impact is read-only disclosure.
