CVE-2026-103763: SiYuan information disclosure in getNotebookInfo endpoint

CVE-2026-103763 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.8 · Published 2026-10-02

SiYuan is a note-taking and knowledge management application that supports publishing selected notebooks to readers. An information disclosure vulnerability allows read-only publish readers—including anonymous visitors when no password is configured—to query the getNotebookInfo endpoint and learn metadata (document count, total size, and modification timestamps) of documents the owner has intentionally hidden from publication. This leaks information about the existence and activity of private documents without exposing their content.

Technologies: SiYuan. Vendors: SiYuan.

Technical details

The POST /api/notebook/getNotebookInfo endpoint performs only notebook-level visibility checks but fails to apply per-document authorization filtering before returning aggregate metadata. An attacker with read-only publish role (or no credentials in passwordless deployments) can obtain document count, total byte size, and modification timestamps for all documents in a publish-visible notebook, including those individually excluded from publishing. The vulnerability exists because the handler calls the raw box.GetInfo() routine which sums metadata across all documents without applying publish-access predicates, violating the invariant that read-only roles must not learn metadata about excluded documents.
