How to Fix GHSA-q6g5-m978-c6v9

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

github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel fixed: Latest secure release 
Upgrade github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel to Latest secure release
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

inspect dependencies for github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-q6g5-m978-c6v9, inspect your project dependencies for Duplicate Advisory:

inspect dependencies for github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory 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: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-862: Missing Authorization, where the product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. In Duplicate Advisory, 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

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-mw8r-mw84-88v2. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 contain a publish-boundary bypass vulnerability in WebSocket broadcast sessions that allows anonymous readers to receive unfiltered edits. Attackers can establish a WebSocket connection to the publish surface and passively receive real-time content events including password-protected and forbidden documents without authentication.
