CVE-2026-101092

SiYuan versions before v3.8.4 fail to properly validate SQL statements in block query embed blocks executed against siyuan.db. Attackers can craft malicious .sy documents with non-read-only SQL statements that execute automatically during background indexing, rendering, or export operations without authentication.

SiYuan versions up to and including 3.8.3 have authentication guards (CheckAuth in kernel/model/session.go and IsSessionOriginAllowed in kernel/util/net.go) that fail open when the HTTP Origin header is absent. Browsers omit Origin on cross-site top-level GET navigations and no-cors GET subresource loads, and the session cookie is SameSite=Lax, so a single cross-site GET from an attacker-controlled page is granted RoleAdministrator. Combined with content-type sniffing on /api/network/proxy, this allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary script in the SiYuan origin, invoke administrator APIs, and exfiltrate the persistent kernel API token.

SiYuan versions 3.7.0 before 3.8.4 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in gallery and kanban database renderers where field descriptions are not escaped in aria-label attributes. In the Electron desktop app with nodeIntegration enabled, attackers can inject JavaScript that calls Node.js child_process APIs to execute arbitrary commands with user privileges.

SiYuan before v3.8.4 contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the graph query endpoint where the dailyNoteSavePath parameter is concatenated into SQL without escaping. Unauthenticated attackers on published sites with auth disabled can inject SQL via UNION SELECT to extract arbitrary database rows from all notebooks.

SiYuan versions before v3.8.4 fail to properly escape four stored Attribute View values in textarea elements, allowing authenticated attackers to inject JavaScript by modifying field descriptions, template sources, select option descriptions, or footer calculation templates. Attackers can execute stored JavaScript when other users open affected database menus, and in the Electron desktop app with nodeIntegration enabled, this leads to command execution with SiYuan process privileges.

SiYuan versions from v2.1.0 before v3.8.4 contain a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the CheckAuth lock-screen pass-through branch that grants administrator access to loopback requests without validating Origin headers. Attackers can craft malicious web pages that force victims to terminate the kernel process, read workspace configuration and proxy settings, and trigger administrative actions via zero-credential cross-origin requests from the victim's browser.

SiYuan before v3.8.4 does not HTML-escape stored flashcard block content before interpolating it into the card-manager list markup. Block content returned by /api/riff/getRiffCards is inserted into a card item template in app/src/card/viewCards.ts and assigned to listElement.innerHTML, so content such as <img src=invalid onerror=...> becomes an executable event-handler attribute. Because the SiYuan desktop (Electron) main window is created with nodeIntegration enabled and contextIsolation disabled, an administrator who opens the card manager on a workspace containing attacker-supplied flashcard content executes the attacker's script in a privileged renderer, which can lead to arbitrary code execution on the host.

SiYuan before v3.8.4 contains an authorization omission in the siyuan-get IPC handler that allows remote-kernel renderers to access native clipboard formats by invoking clipboardReadMathML, clipboardReadOffice, and clipboardReadWPS commands with matching plaintext. Attackers controlling remote renderer content can obtain MathML formulas, Office bytes, and WPS bytes from local clipboard during user-mediated paste operations.

SiYuan v3.8.3 fails to HTML-escape the data-subtype attribute when generating gutter-button markup (app/src/protyle/gutter/button.ts, assigned via innerHTML in app/src/protyle/gutter/index.ts) from content pasted as plain-text Markdown containing a Kramdown inline attribute list (IAL). Because the shared Lute renderer parses Kramdown IAL from text/plain input, an attacker-supplied Markdown snippet using entity-encoded quotes in data-subtype breaks out of the attribute value when the gutter markup is re-parsed by the browser, injecting additional attributes such as autofocus and onfocus. If a victim pastes the crafted Markdown and the affected gutter control receives focus, the injected handler executes; in the Electron desktop application, where the main BrowserWindow enables Node integration and disables context isolation, this results in JavaScript execution with renderer Node.js privileges (remote code execution).

SiYuan versions before v3.8.4 contain a path traversal vulnerability in the setNotebookIcon endpoint that allows authenticated administrators to create arbitrary directory trees and write files outside the workspace boundary. Attackers can supply directory traversal sequences in the notebook parameter to escape the workspace data directory and write conf.json files to arbitrary locations accessible by the kernel process.
