Authorization Flaw in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-73606)
Summary
Vulnerability in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-73606). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via eef105683. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.0.0-20260812083335-251596fc0de2 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
/api/block/getRefIDs filters its results for reader roles through a helper that checks only the visibility tiers. The password tier is not checked, because the helper does not receive the request context and therefore cannot evaluate the publish auth cookie. A reader who has not entered a document's publish password learns that the document references a given block.
A function ten lines away in the same file does perform the full check, on the same input type.
Details
Route, identical at eef105683 (kernel/api/router.go:235) and dev a7ae96ce (:245):
ginServer.Handle("POST", "/api/block/getRefIDs", model.CheckAuth, getRefIDs)
No CheckReadonly, no CheckAdminRole.
The filter chain. getRefIDs (kernel/api/block.go:631) checks isEncryptedNotebookDeniedForPublish, calls model.GetBlockRefsInBox, then for read-only roles:
publishIgnore := model.GetInvisiblePublishAccess(publishAccess)
refDefs, originalRefBlockIDs = model.FilterRefDefsByPublishIgnore(publishIgnore, refDefs)
FilterRefDefsByPublishIgnore (kernel/model/publish_access.go:1324) collects the reference and definition identifiers, resolves their block trees, and delegates the decision to FilterBlockTreesByPublishIgnore (:1314), whose entire body is:
for id, bt := range bts {
if CheckPathAccessableByPublishIgnore(bt.BoxID, bt.Path, publishIgnore) {
ret[id] = bt
}
}
Inside that helper, CheckPublishAuthCookie, `GetPathP…
