How to Fix CVE-2026-85579

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-85579, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key, where the system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

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who knows the root ID of a visible document can obtain the internal root IDs of other documents (including private or unpublished ones) modified in the same cross-document transaction, disclosing internal identifiers and cross-document relationships.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.
