• CVE-2026-72796: 0.35% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 28.97 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

CVE: This vulnerability corresponds to CVE-2026-72796. Summary Several static-file routes in the server mux (kernel/server/serve.go) are registered with CheckAuth only and serve directories directly, without the publish-access checks, sensitive-path blocklist, or refuseToAccess rules that the REST API applies to the same data. They are therefore reachable by the publish RoleReader token and by the anonymous account when Publish.Auth.Enable is false. Most notably, /templates/ serves data/templates a directory the REST file API explicitly refuses to serve to non-administrators. Details | Route | Registration | Guard | Exposed to a reader | |---|---|---|---| | /templates/ (line 424) | Group("/templates/", model.CheckAuth).Static("", data/templates) | none beyond path cleaning | the templates directory | | /snippets/ (line 434) | CheckAuth | blocks only conf.json | any snippet's JS/CSS content by name | | /widgets/, /plugins/, /emojis/ (409/414/419) | Group(CheckAuth).Static(dir) | none…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-72796

Advisory: SiYuan: Static-file routes bypass the publish-access controls enforced on the REST API, exposing templates, snippets and export artifacts to anonymous readers
IDs: CVE-2026-72796, GHSA-fgmr-7w36-9qfq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-72796 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:29 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 5.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel 0.0.0-20260725122641-34be6c0bb073. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Go github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel: affected < 0.0.0-20260725122641-34be6c0bb073; fixed in 0.0.0-20260725122641-34be6c0bb073

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Go github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
