Description
SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability in the FilterViewByPublishAccess filter that fails to check publish password protection when rendering attribute views and database rows. Unauthenticated readers can access password-protected document rows including titles, block IDs, and column values by calling renderAttributeView without supplying the required password.

AI Analysis

Impact

SiYuan versions before 3.7.4 contain an authentication bypass in the FilterViewByPublishAccess filter that skips checking the publish password when rendering attribute views and database rows. Unauthenticated users can call the renderAttributeView endpoint without supplying the required password and thereby read password‑protected document rows—including titles, block identifiers and column values—resulting in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data. This weakness is a missing authorization flaw (CWE‑862).

Affected Systems

The affected product is the SiYuan note application (siyuan). All releases prior to v3.7.4 are vulnerable; no further version detail is provided in the CVE record.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. No EPSS score is available and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but it can be exploited remotely by sending an unauthenticated request to the renderAttributeView API endpoint. The attack requires no special privileges, the complexity is low, and it can lead to the disclosure of protected content.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade SiYuan to version 3.7.4 or later, which restores proper publish‑password checks.
  • Configure network controls or a reverse‑proxy so that the renderAttributeView endpoint requires authentication for all clients, or block unauthenticated access to this route.
  • Continuously monitor server logs for attempts to call renderAttributeView without credentials as an indicator of attempted exploitation.
