CVE-2026-68585: Missing Authorization in siyuan-note siyuan
**CVE:** This vulnerability corresponds to [CVE-2026-68585](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-68585). ### Summary The `/api/block/getBlockInfo` endpoint returns document root metadata including the document title (`rootTitle`) for a block in a publish-forbidden document, with no publish-access check. Its sibling `/api/block/getDocInfo` applies the publish-access filter, `getBlockInfo` does not. Both are gated by `CheckAuth` only, so `getBlockInfo` is reachable by the publish `RoleReader` token and by the anonymous account when `Publish.Auth.Enable` is `false`. ### Details The list/info side of this API is filtered while the block-info twin is not the asymmetry indicates an oversight rather than intended behavior: | Endpoint | Returns | Publish-access filter | Route | |---|---|---|---| | `getDocInfo` | document info/metadata | present | `CheckAuth` | | `getBlockInfo` | `box, path, rootID, rootTitle, rootChildID, rootIcon` | none | `CheckAuth` | `getBlockInfo` takes a caller-supplied block ID, validates only its format, and returns the containing document's root metadata including `rootTitle` (the document title) with no `IsReadOnlyRoleContext` / publish-access check. Because `getDocInfo` performs the filtering for equivalent data, the boundary is clearly meant to apply here; `getBlockInfo` omits it. ### Proof of Concept Reproduced on a local instance (SiYuan running locally, publish mode enabled on port 6808, publish Basic Auth disabled). Setup: a publish-forbidden document `D` whose title is a unique marker, containing a block `BLOCKID`. **1. Mark the document publish-forbidden (admin action):** ``` POST http://127.0.0.1:6806/api/filetree/setPublishAccess Authorization: Token <admin-token> {"id":"DOC","visible":false,"password":"","disable":true} ``` **2. Disclosure: the block-info endpoint returns the forbidden doc's title (anonymous, port 6808):** ``` POST http://127.0.0.1:6808/api/block/getBlockInfo {"id":"BLOCKID"} ``` Returns HTTP 200 with `data.rootTitle` set to the publish-forbidden document's title, along with `box`, `path`, `rootID`, and `rootIcon`. This document's title is not returned by the reader-facing filtered paths. ### Impact An anonymous reader (publish mode with auth disabled) or any publish `RoleReader` can read the title and root metadata (notebook, path, root ID, icon) of a publish-forbidden document by supplying a block ID from it. This discloses the existence, title, and location of documents an administrator marked as excluded from publishing. **Precondition and scope (stated honestly):** the request requires a block ID from the target document; this endpoint does not enumerate arbitrary documents. The disclosure is limited to document metadata, title, notebook, path, root ID, icon — not the document body. Block IDs for forbidden documents are obtainable from other `CheckAuth`-only endpoints that lack the publish-access filter (reported separately). Impact is confidentiality-only, limited to metadata; no content body, no modification. Encrypted notebooks are out of scope. ### Suggested fix Apply the same publish-access check `getDocInfo` uses to `getBlockInfo` before returning root metadata, resolve the block's document and enforce `IsReadOnlyRoleContext` / the publish-access filter, consistent with the sibling endpoint.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-68585 describes a missing authorization vulnerability in SiYuan note-taking software prior to version 3.7.3. The /api/block/getBlockInfo API endpoint fails to enforce publish-access checks, enabling unauthorized users to obtain metadata of documents that administrators intended to keep unpublished. This includes sensitive metadata fields like document title and path. The vulnerability is classified with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9, indicating a medium severity level. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently documented, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
Unauthorized disclosure of document metadata can lead to information leakage about unpublished or restricted documents. Although the vulnerability does not expose document content, the exposure of titles, paths, and other metadata could aid attackers in reconnaissance or social engineering. The impact is limited to metadata disclosure without direct integrity or availability effects.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the affected API endpoint and monitor for unauthorized access attempts. Avoid exposing sensitive document metadata to anonymous or minimally privileged users.
