Relay Server WebSocket authentication bypass when token is omitted

Published May 12, 2026 · Updated May 13, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

Relay adds real-time collaboration to Obsidian. Relay Server versions 0.9.0 through 0.9.6 contain an authentication bypass in the multi-document WebSocket endpoints. When authentication is configured, WebSocket connections without a token query parameter were incorrectly treated as having full server permissions. An unauthenticated network attacker who knows or guesses a document ID could connect to the document sync WebSocket and read or modify document contents without a valid document token. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.7.
