CVE-2026-72800 siyuan-note CVE debrief
Authenticated readers can exploit SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 to retrieve complete database column schemas and enumerate workspace-wide block IDs without publish scoping. This vulnerability allows attackers to discover valid block identifiers across publish boundaries and access content from hidden or password-protected documents, potentially leading to information disclosure.

Who should care
Users of SiYuan versions before v3.7.4, administrators of SiYuan deployments, security teams monitoring for potential information disclosure vulnerabilities, and operators of affected systems should be aware of this vulnerability and take necessary actions to mitigate it.
Technical summary
SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to apply publish-access filtering to certain endpoints, allowing authenticated readers to retrieve complete database column schemas and enumerate workspace-wide block IDs. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.9 and is classified as MEDIUM severity. The affected product is SiYuan, and the vulnerability is related to improper access control. Attackers can leverage this vulnerability to gather sensitive information about the database schema and block IDs, which could be used to plan further exploitation.
Defensive priority
Medium priority due to the CVSS score of 6.9 and potential for information disclosure.
Recommended defensive actions
- Apply patches or updates to SiYuan to version v3.7.4 or later
- Restrict access to sensitive information and database column schemas
- Monitor for suspicious activity related to SiYuan deployments
- Implement compensating controls to limit the impact of potential exploitation
- Review and update asset inventory to identify potentially affected systems
- Track exceptions and retest remediated assets
- Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
