SiYuan: 17 block metadata/content endpoints in kernel/api/block.go have zero publish-access filtering, reachable by anonymous publish-mode readers
GitHub lists this reviewed advisory for github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Published version ranges and source prerequisites are shown below; this is not an inspection of a visitor’s application.
This report has not inspected your inventory, configuration, deployed build, reachability or evidence. A catalog listing and a severity score do not establish exposure or compromise.

Why it matters
Published affected context helps an owner decide what evidence to gather. This report has not examined your application.

Same CWE-862 family, found via an automated bulk sweep of every `/api/block/*` handler in `kernel/api/block.go` for the presence of any access-check reference (`IsReadOnlyRoleContext`, `checkBlockPublishAccess`, `GetPublishAccess`) anywhere in the function body. 17 of 28 candidate endpoints have none. Cross-checked against the file's own sibling functions (`getBlockInfo`, `getBlockDOM`, `getRefIDs`, etc.), which correctly implement the check, confirming this is a real, uneven gap rather than a deliberate design choice for the whole file. ### Summary 17 handlers in `kernel/api/block.go`, all gated only by `model.CheckAuth` with no admin-role requirement, return block content-derived text, structural metadata, or existence information for any block ID supplied, with no access check anywhere in the handler or, for the ones checked in detail, the model functions they call. This is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization), the same class as the companion advisories from this review round, found in a different file via a systematic bulk check rather than manual inspection of each function individually. ### Details Confirmed via automated extraction of every function body between `func NAME(c *
03 / Response
What to do next
- investigate
Identify the exact component and deployed version, examine the linked publisher’s conditions, and retain evidence of any mitigation.
Confirm current vendor support, compatibility and deployment evidence. This report has not tested a fix in your system. GitHub Advisory Database
A fixed release is not deployment evidence.
Check current vendor support and compatibility. After making a change, verify the deployed build and relevant runtime conditions. Keep the evidence, owner and time. An updated lockfile alone does not prove what is running.
04 / Limits
What this report cannot establish
- Customer inventory, deployment, reachability and exploitation have not been inspected.
05 / Provenance
Sources you can inspect
Each assertion retains its source. Mirrored records may repeat one underlying publisher; additional links are not independent corroboration.
