Original description
The description as published by the source.
CVE: This vulnerability corresponds to CVE-2026-68587.
Summary
Three "heading transaction" endpoints /api/block/getHeadingDeleteTransaction, /api/block/getHeadingLevelTransaction, and /api/block/getHeadingInsertTransaction return the rendered block DOM of a heading and its subtree in the computed transaction payload, with no publish-access check. They are gated by CheckAuth only, so they are reachable by the publish RoleReader token, and by the anonymous account when Publish.Auth.Enable is false.
Despite their write-implying names, these endpoints perform no mutation on this path, they compute a transaction object and return it, and that object contains RenderNodeBlockDOM output. As a result, an anonymous reader who supplies a heading block ID can read the full rendered content of a document that has been explicitly marked publish-disabled by an administrator, content that the reader-facing /api/filetree/getDoc path correctly refuses to return.
Details
Route / auth tier. All three routes are registered CheckAuth-only (no CheckAdminRole). CheckAuth admits RoleReader, and the publish proxy forwards port-6808 traffic with a Reader JWT (anonymous account when publish auth is disabled). Anonymous/reader reachable.
No publish-access filter. GetHeadingDeleteTransaction / GetHeadingLevelTransaction / GetHeadingInsertTransaction load the heading's block tree and render its DOM…
