CVE-2026-75916
HighCVSS 8.6Summary
SiYuan through 3.7.3 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the '((' block-reference autocomplete hint popup. In genHintItemHTML() (app/src/protyle/hint/extend.ts), a candidate block's name, alias, and memo fields are concatenated into the popup's HTML without escaping. An attacker who can set these metadata fields on a block can inject a self-firing payload (e.g. <img src=x onerror=...>) that executes automatically when a victim types '((' followed by a search term that surfaces the crafted block. Because SiYuan's Electron windows run with nodeIntegration enabled, contextIsolation disabled, and no CSP, the injected script gains require('child_process') access, allowing the XSS to escalate to arbitrary OS command execution.
Risk Assessment
Risk of arbitrary OS command execution on the victim's machine, potentially leading to full system compromise and data breach.
Recommendation
Update SiYuan to version 3.7.4 or later. Restrict trust in blocks from external sources and consider disabling nodeIntegration in Electron windows.
