Summary

obsidian-tc: Default folder ACL is fail-open; .obsidian plugin secrets are readable by default

Details

Impact

With a default configuration, an undefined readPaths/writePaths meant allow-all, the strictReadDefault flag was inert, and the .obsidian/.git/.trash control directories were denied only during enumeration — not on the direct request path. A caller could read .obsidian/plugins/*/data.json, exfiltrating plugin API keys and Obsidian Sync passwords (live-reproduced), as well as any other in-vault file by path.

Patches

Fixed in 1.3.1. Upgrade to >= 1.3.1. The default now denies .obsidian/.git/.trash on read/write/delete and honors strictReadDefault on the request path.

Workarounds

Set an explicit readPaths/writePaths whitelist that excludes the control directories.

Severity

6.5 (Medium)

CVE-2026-77364 (GCVE-0-2026-77364)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-10-12 17:52 – Updated: 2026-10-15 13:36

Title

obsidian-tc fail-open default ACL exposes Obsidian control-directory secrets

Summary

obsidian-tc is a governed, agent-ready Model Context Protocol server for Obsidian vaults. Prior to 1.3.1, undefined readPaths and writePaths settings allow all paths, strictReadDefault does not protect direct requests, and the .obsidian, .git, and .trash control directories are excluded only during enumeration. An authenticated caller can directly read sensitive files such as .obsidian/plugins/*/data.json, potentially exposing plugin API keys, Obsidian Sync passwords, and other in-vault data. Version 1.3.1 fixes the vulnerability by denying the control directories by default and enforcing strictReadDefault on direct request paths.

Severity
