SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. In versions 3.6.0 and below, POST /api/import/importStdMd passes the localPath parameter directly to model.ImportFromLocalPath with zero path validation. The function recursively reads every file under the given path and permanently stores their content as SiYuan note documents in the workspace database, making them searchable and accessible to all workspace users. Data persists in the workspace database across restarts and is accessible to Publish Service Reader accounts. Combined with the renderSprig SQL injection ( separate advisory ), a non-admin user can then read all imported secrets without any additional privileges. This issue has been fixed in version 3.6.1.

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.6.1, POST /api/template/renderSprig lacks model.CheckAdminRole, allowing any authenticated user to execute arbitrary SQL queries against the SiYuan workspace database and exfiltrate all note content, metadata, and custom attributes. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.6.1.

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.6.0, the /api/network/forwardProxy endpoint allows authenticated users to make arbitrary HTTP requests from the server. The endpoint accepts a user-controlled URL and makes HTTP requests to it, returning the full response body and headers. There is no URL validation to prevent requests to internal networks, localhost, or cloud metadata services. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.6.0.

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.5.10, SiYuan's SVG sanitizer (SanitizeSVG) checks href attributes for the javascript: prefix using strings.HasPrefix(). However, inserting ASCII tab (	), newline (
), or carriage return (
) characters inside the javascript: string bypasses this prefix check. Browsers strip these characters per the WHATWG URL specification before parsing the URL scheme, so the JavaScript still executes. This allows an attacker to inject executable JavaScript into the unauthenticated /api/icon/getDynamicIcon endpoint, creating a reflected XSS. This is a second bypass of the fix for CVE-2026-29183 (fixed in v3.5.9). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.5.10.

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.5.10, SiYuan's SVG sanitizer (SanitizeSVG) blocks dangerous elements (<script>, <iframe>, <foreignobject>) and removes on* event handlers and javascript: in href attributes. However, it does NOT block SVG animation elements (<animate>, <set>) which can dynamically set attributes to dangerous values at runtime, bypassing the static sanitization. This allows an attacker to inject executable JavaScript into the unauthenticated /api/icon/getDynamicIcon endpoint (type=8), creating a reflected XSS. This is a bypass of the fix for CVE-2026-29183 (fixed in v3.5.9). This vulnerability is fixed in v3.5.10.

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.5.10, a path traversal vulnerability in the /export endpoint allows an attacker to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem. By exploiting double‑encoded traversal sequences, an attacker can access sensitive files such as conf/conf.json, which contains secrets including the API token, cookie signing key, and workspace access authentication code. Leaking these secrets may enable administrative access to the SiYuan kernel API, and in certain deployment scenarios could potentially be chained into remote code execution (RCE). This vulnerability is fixed in 3.5.10.

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.5.10, a privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the publish service of SiYuan Note that allows low-privilege publish accounts (RoleReader) to modify notebook content via the /api/block/appendHeadingChildren API endpoint. The endpoint requires only the model.CheckAuth role, which accepts RoleReader sessions, but it does not enforce stricter checks, such as CheckAdminRole or CheckReadonly. This allows remote authenticated publish users with read-only privileges to append new blocks to existing documents, compromising the integrity of stored notes.

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to version 3.5.9, an unauthenticated reflected XSS vulnerability exists in the dynamic icon API endpoint "GET /api/icon/getDynamicIcon" when type=8, attacker-controlled content is embedded into SVG output without escaping. Because the endpoint is unauthenticated and returns image/svg+xml, a crafted URL can inject executable SVG/HTML event handlers (for example onerror) and run JavaScript in the SiYuan web origin. This can be chained to perform authenticated API actions and exfiltrate sensitive data when a logged-in user opens the malicious link. This issue has been patched in version 3.5.9.

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to version 3.6.0, the /api/query/sql lets a user run sql directly, but it only checks basic auth, not admin rights, any logged-in user, even readers, can run any sql query on the database. This issue has been patched in version 3.6.0.

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.5.5, the /api/file/getFile endpoint uses case-sensitive string equality checks to block access to sensitive files. On case-insensitive file systems such as Windows, attackers can bypass restrictions using mixed-case paths and read protected configuration files. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.5.5.
