CVE-2026-85579

MEDIUM 5.3

Published 2026-09-04 · Last modified 2026-09-04

SiYuan is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability (confirmed in v3.8.1, fixed in v3.8.2) in the reader-accessible POST /api/transactions/undoState endpoint. The endpoint returns the peekMutatedRootIDs list from the global undo-log stack for a caller-supplied root ID without applying publish-access visibility filtering. An authenticated reader who knows the root ID of a visible document can obtain the internal root IDs of other documents (including private or unpublished ones) modified in the same cross-document transaction, disclosing internal identifiers and cross-document relationships. Document body contents are not directly exposed.
