Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-72797). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via POST /api/notebook/getEncryptedNotebookStatus. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.0.0-20260724123622-8fb1b5766093 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
CVE: This vulnerability corresponds to CVE-2026-72797.
Summary
POST /api/notebook/getEncryptedNotebookStatus returns the identifier, name, and current lock state of every encrypted notebook, with no publish-access filtering. The route is registered CheckAuth only, no CheckReadonly, no CheckAdminRole so it is reachable by the publish RoleReader token and by the anonymous account when Publish.Auth.Enable is false. Encrypted notebooks are private by design; their names frequently reveal the sensitive topic that motivated encrypting them.
Details
Route registration (kernel/api/router.go:131):
ginServer.Handle("POST", "/api/notebook/getEncryptedNotebookStatus", model.CheckAuth, getEncryptedNotebookStatus)
The handler (kernel/api/notebook.go) accepts no arguments and contains no IsReadOnlyRoleContext branch and no publish-access filter of any kind. It returns, for every encrypted notebook, {id, name, unlocked}, the notebook's box.Name and its live lock state together with enabled, count, migrationPending, migrationBoxes, and hasHistoryDependency.
Guarded-sibling asymmetry. The primary notebook listing lsNotebooks, in the same file and also reader-reachable, does filter: it skips notebooks that are Closed and any notebook whose publishAccess entry is not Visible. The project therefore publish-scopes notebook listings but getEncryptedNotebookStatus enumerat…
