Description
SiYuan before v3.8.1 does not apply the IsForbiddenAbsPath guard (introduced in GHSA-c8r8-95hg-mp34) to the /history/*path and /repo/diff/*path endpoints in kernel/server/serve.go. These routes require admin authentication but construct file paths independently, so an authenticated administrator can retrieve historical snapshots of sensitive files that the guard is meant to block, including data/.siyuan/publishAccess.json (plaintext publish-mode passwords) and files under data/templates/.
