Original description
The description as published by the source.
CVE: This vulnerability corresponds to CVE-2026-68584.
Summary
SiYuan's publish mode defines a "protected" access level: a document that is publicly listed but requires a password to read (per the product's own UI help text, protected = "Publicly visible, requires password to access"). The password is enforced on the primary content path (getDoc, via FilterContentByPublishAccess).
Several other content-returning endpoints getHeadingChildrenDOM, getHeadingDeleteTransaction/getHeadingLevelTransaction/ getHeadingInsertTransaction, and getBacklinkDoc/getBackmentionDoc return rendered block DOM with no password check at all. Combined with reader-reachable endpoints that leak a protected document's internal block IDs, an anonymous reader can retrieve the full body of a password-protected document without the password. This has been reproduced end-to-end on a live instance.
Details
The password control and where it is enforced. Publish access has five levels encoded in visible/password/disable: public, protected (password), hidden, private (password), forbidden. getDoc correctly enforces the password for protected/private documents via FilterContentByPublishAccess. The bug is that other content endpoints do not.
Content endpoints with no password check (all CheckAuth-only):
