Vulnerabilidades de Siyuan-note

SiYuan before v3.8.1 fails to properly escape block name, alias, and memo fields in hint, backlink, and breadcrumb rendering functions. Attackers can set a block's name to contain HTML/script tags that execute when another user views documents referencing or displaying that block.

SiYuan before v3.8.1 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in confirmDialog() where unescaped package names and notebook names are interpolated directly into innerHTML assignments. Attackers can submit malicious bazaar packages with HTML/script payloads in the name field that execute in users' browsers when uninstalling packages or unlocking encrypted notebooks.

SiYuan Windows installer before version 3.8.1 (affected versions >= 2.0.14) contains an uncontrolled search path element vulnerability in its NSIS installer, which invokes system executables such as TASKKILL by name rather than by absolute path. Because NSIS nsExec::Exec resolves these calls using a search path that includes the installer's own launch directory ahead of System32, an attacker who plants a malicious executable (e.g., a renamed TASKKILL.exe) in that directory can have it executed when the installer runs. These calls occur in electron-builder's preInit hook before the license page is displayed, and with an all-users (elevated) install the planted binary executes with an elevated token, resulting in local privilege escalation.

SiYuan versions before v3.8.1 contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability in the http_request and web_fetch agent tools that perform DNS resolution only at guard time without validating the connect-time resolution. Attackers can use DNS rebinding to answer the guard resolution with a public IP and the connect resolution with a private or metadata IP, bypassing the SSRF defense to access cloud instance metadata and internal services.

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 contain an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in the /api/search/removeTemplate endpoint that accepts an unvalidated path parameter passed directly to os.RemoveAll. Authenticated admin attackers can supply absolute filesystem paths to recursively delete any file or directory the kernel process has permission to remove, anywhere on the host filesystem.

SiYuan before v3.7.4 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the file-tree picker's hover-tooltip generation (app/src/util/pathName.ts, getLeaf()/movePathTo()) used by the 'move/link to' path-selection dialogs, where document metadata fields (bookmark, alias, memo, and an alternate name field) are concatenated into the aria-label HTML attribute without escaping. A document crafted with a double quote in any of these fields breaks out of the attribute context and injects arbitrary HTML attributes including inline event handlers (e.g., onmouseover). Because every SiYuan Electron BrowserWindow runs with nodeIntegration:true, contextIsolation:false, and no CSP, the injected handler gains require('child_process') access, escalating the XSS to arbitrary OS command execution when a victim merely hovers over the malicious document entry in the path-picker dialog. Malicious documents reach victims via sharing, sync, or import.

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.

SiYuan before v3.7.4 contains an incorrect authorization vulnerability in eight publish-mode reader-facing endpoints that filter results using the visibility list instead of the disabled list. Anonymous visitors can discover and read content from documents explicitly marked as forbidden from publishing by accessing search, backlink, asset content, saved criteria, recent documents, graph, and tag endpoints.

SiYuan before v3.7.4 contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the isPrivateIP function in kernel/util/net.go, used by SSRFSafeDialer to enforce SSRF protection in SafeMode. The function only checks for loopback, link-local unicast, private, and unspecified addresses and does not recognize IPv6 transition addresses (NAT64 64:ff9b::/96, 6to4 2002::/16, Teredo 2001::/32) that embed private IPv4 destinations. When SafeMode is enabled, an authenticated attacker can bypass the SSRF guard via the network forward proxy, WebSocket proxy, or SSE proxy endpoints by supplying a URL whose hostname resolves to such a transition address, reaching internal services and cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., 169.254.169.254). Because the forward proxy returns the full response body, this is a full-read SSRF that can be used to steal instance credentials, reach internal services, and port-scan internal infrastructure.

SiYuan before v3.7.4 is missing authorization checks in 17 block metadata/content endpoints in kernel/api/block.go (including getRefText, checkBlockExist, and getBlockBreadcrumb). These handlers are gated only by basic authentication (model.CheckAuth) and lack publish-access filtering, allowing anonymous publish-mode readers to disclose private block content-derived text, structural metadata, and existence information for arbitrary block IDs across the workspace.

SiYuan before v3.7.4 contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the file upload validation flow that fails to escape filenames before inserting them into HTML via insertAdjacentHTML. Attackers can craft a malicious filename containing script payloads that execute with full OS command access when a user drags, drops, or pastes the file into the editor.

SiYuan versions before 3.7.4 contain an unthrottled brute-force vulnerability in the Publish Service Basic Auth implementation (PublishServiceTransport.RoundTrip() in kernel/server/proxy/publish.go). The Publish Service runs on a separate, unauthenticated-by-default listener (default TCP port 6808) and gates named publish-viewer accounts (Conf.Publish.Auth.Accounts) with Basic Auth that has no rate limiting, per-account lockout, or backoff. Unauthenticated remote attackers can submit unlimited password guesses against named accounts to gain access to published notes/notebooks.

SiYuan versions before 3.7.4 contain a cross-site WebSocket hijacking vulnerability in the admin-only /ws/network/proxy endpoint that explicitly disables origin validation by setting CheckOrigin to unconditionally return true. Attackers can craft malicious webpages that establish WebSocket connections to this endpoint and direct the SiYuan kernel process to proxy arbitrary network traffic to attacker-chosen targets, enabling authenticated network pivoting through the victim's machine.

SiYuan before 3.7.4 fails to properly escape workspace directory paths when constructing command-line arguments for the elevated elevator.exe helper process. Attackers can create a malicious workspace directory with command metacharacters in its path and trigger the Microsoft Defender exclusion flow to execute arbitrary commands with administrator privileges after UAC approval.
