Frequently Asked Questions
What is CVE-2026-72799?
SiYuan before v3.7.4 (affected <=v3.7.2) fails to enforce publish-access filters on five filetree path-resolution endpoints (getFullHPathByID, getHPathByID, getPathByID, getIDsByHPath, and getHPathByPath). In publish mode, when Publish.Auth.Enable is false, an unauthenticated (anonymous) reader — or any publish reader token — can call these endpoints to enumerate the complete private document tree, mapping notebook names, folder hierarchies, and document titles, and resolving title paths to document IDs, including for documents marked hidden, password-protected, or publish-forbidden.
Is CVE-2026-72799 actively exploited?
No confirmed active exploitation of CVE-2026-72799 has been reported, but organizations should still patch proactively.
How to fix CVE-2026-72799?
No patch is currently available. Monitor vendor advisories for updates.
What is the CVSS score for CVE-2026-72799?
CVE-2026-72799 has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.8 (MEDIUM).

Weaknesses (CWE)
CWE-862 — Missing Authorization: The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.
- [Architecture and Design] Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries. Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
- [Architecture and Design] Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
