CVE-2026-59834

## Summary Siyuan's block search endpoint concatenates attacker-controlled `paths[]` values into SQL predicates used by non-SQL search modes. Through Siyuan's publish service, an unauthenticated visitor is forwarded to the kernel with a reader-role token and can reach `POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock`. An attacker can inject a `UNION SELECT` through `paths[]` and return rows from hidden documents while projecting an allowed visible `box` and `path`. The post-query publish access filter trusts the projected `box` and `path`, so the injected hidden row is returned to the publish visitor. ## Affected Code The API blocks explicit SQL search mode for non-admin users, but allows other search methods to use caller-controlled paths: ```go if method == 2 && !model.IsAdminRoleContext(c) { ret.Code = -1 ret.Msg = "SQL search requires administrator privileges" return } blocks, matchedBlockCount, matchedRootCount, pageCount, docMode := model.FullTextSearchBlock(query, boxes, paths, types, method, orderBy, groupBy, page, pageSize) if model.IsReadOnlyRoleContext(c) { publishAccess := model.GetPublishAccess() blocks = model.FilterBlocksByPublishAccess(c, publishAccess, blocks) } ``` Source: `input/siyuan/kernel/api/search.go` `paths[]` is parsed into notebook IDs and paths without SQL escaping or validation: ```go path := p.(string) box := strings.TrimSpace(strings.Split(path, "/")[0]) if "" != box { boxes = append(boxes, box) } path = strings.TrimSpace(strings.TrimPrefix(path, box)) if "" != path { paths = append(paths, path) } ``` Source: `input/siyuan/kernel/api/search.go` Those values are then concatenated directly into SQL: ```go builder.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("box = '%s'", box)) ``` ```go builder.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf("path LIKE '%s%%'", path)) ``` Source: `input/siyuan/kernel/model/search.go` Regexp search executes the resulting statement: ```go stmt := "SELECT * FROM `blocks` WHERE " + fieldFilter + " AND type IN " + typeF
