Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-72795). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /api/block/getBlockDOMWithEmbed. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.0.0-20260725125659-1ca1c3c9d94b or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
CVE: This vulnerability corresponds to CVE-2026-72795.
Summary
/api/block/getBlockDOMWithEmbed and /api/block/getBlockDOMsWithEmbed gate only the requested block against publish access. The blocks pulled in by that block's embed (transclusion) query are inlined into the returned DOM with no publish-access check at all, so a reader who requests a legitimately-published block containing an embed query receives the content of every block that query matched including blocks in hidden, forbidden and password-protected documents.
The dedicated embed endpoint getEmbedBlock filters these same results for reader roles. The DOM-with-embed path does not.
Details
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Routes | kernel/api/router.go:226 POST /api/block/getBlockDOMWithEmbed → model.CheckAuth → getBlockDOMWithEmbed; :227 POST /api/block/getBlockDOMsWithEmbed → model.CheckAuth → getBlockDOMsWithEmbed |
| Middleware | CheckAuth only — no CheckReadonly, no CheckAdminRole → reachable by the publish RoleReader token, and anonymously when Publish.Auth.Enable is false |
| Guard present | Top-level requested block only. Singular: password + disable checks on the requested id. Plural: filterBlockDOMsByPublishAccess over the requested ids. |
| Guard absent | The embedded blocks resolved from the query |
| Exposed | Content HTML of every block matched by the embed query, regardless of that block's publish v… |
