CVE-2026-72792: SiYuan: Tag labels from password-protected documents are returned to readers who have not entered the password
/api/tag/getTag filters its results for reader roles through FilterTagsByPublishIgnore, which checks only the visible publish tier. Documents that are published but password-protected pass that check, so a reader who has never entered a document’s publish password receives every tag label used inside it, together with occurrence counts.
The project has already treated this exact tier mismatch as a vulnerability on a sibling path: commit 82e9ded42 (“Enforce publish access for graph nodes”) moved the graph endpoint off the visible-only filter and onto a password-aware one. FilterTagsByPublishIgnore was not upgraded alongside it.
