SiYuan versions up to and including v3.7.2 (fixed in v3.7.4) contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the /api/asset/getFileAnnotation endpoint, which returns .sya PDF-annotation file content without a publish-access check. Because the endpoint is gated only by CheckAuth (unlike the /assets/* route, which enforces publish access and password), an anonymous reader (when publish authentication is disabled) or any publish RoleReader who knows an asset path can read the private PDF annotations (highlights and notes) of publish-forbidden, password-protected, or unpublished documents. The issue is limited to non-encrypted notebooks; encrypted-box annotations are not exposed.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the FilterViewByPublishAccess filter that fails to check publish password protection when rendering attribute views and database rows. Unauthenticated readers can access password-protected document rows including titles, block IDs, and column values by calling renderAttributeView without supplying the required password.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to enforce publish-access checks on getBlockBreadcrumb, getRefText, and getBlockTreeInfos endpoints, allowing disclosure of protected document content and metadata. Anonymous readers or publish RoleReader accounts can retrieve document titles, ancestor block content snippets, reference text, and path metadata for publish-forbidden or password-protected documents by supplying block IDs.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to apply publish-access filtering to the getAttributeViewKeysByID endpoint, allowing authenticated readers to retrieve complete database column schemas including descriptions, select vocabularies, and template expressions. Additionally, getBlockDefIDsByRefText and getBlockRelevantIDs endpoints enumerate workspace-wide block IDs without publish scoping, enabling attackers to discover valid block identifiers across publish boundaries and access content from hidden or password-protected documents.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to enforce publish-access checks in the getBlockAttrs and batchGetBlockAttrs endpoints. Attackers can retrieve block attributes including names, aliases, memos, and custom fields from protected documents by sending POST requests with block IDs.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to mask sensitive configuration fields in the /api/system/getConf endpoint, allowing anonymous or publish-reader users to obtain the session-cookie signing key, OS username via pandoc path, and encrypted-notebook key material. Attackers can forge and tamper with session cookies to impersonate users, and on instances without access-auth codes configured, escalate to administrator privileges.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the getEncryptedNotebookStatus endpoint that returns encrypted notebook identifiers, names, and lock states without publish-access filtering. Anonymous readers and publish-mode accounts can enumerate all encrypted notebooks and their current unlock status, revealing sensitive notebook names and decryption state in memory.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.3 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in publish mode where content-returning endpoints getHeadingChildrenDOM, getHeading*Transaction, and getBacklinkDoc perform no password check despite protecting the primary getDoc endpoint. Anonymous attackers can retrieve full content of password-protected documents by obtaining internal block IDs from reader-accessible endpoints and calling unprotected content endpoints to bypass the password gate.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.3 fail to validate the avID parameter on all code branches in attribute-view read endpoints, allowing attackers to construct traversal paths that escape the storage directory. Authenticated users with RoleReader permissions or anonymous clients when publish authentication is disabled can read JSON files outside the attribute-view directory to disclose cross-scope database content.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.3 contain a metadata disclosure vulnerability in the /api/block/getBlockInfo endpoint that returns document root metadata including title for publish-forbidden documents without publish-access checks. Anonymous readers or publish RoleReader tokens can supply a block ID to retrieve the title, notebook, path, root ID, and icon of documents administrators marked as excluded from publishing.
