CVE-2026-59853
MEDIUM 6.5 PoC AVAILABLE ALL-YEARSSiYuan is an open-source personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.7.1, the /api/storage/getCriteria endpoint returns saved search criteria from data/storage/criteria.json without the publish-access filtering used by sibling storage endpoints, allowing a publish-mode Reader to read private document paths, notebook, document, and block IDs, and search and replace keywords for unpublished documents. This issue is fixed in versions 3.7.1.
Public exploit or PoC code exists. The barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
