CVE-2026-29183 Details
Description
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.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in SiYuan, a personal knowledge management system, prior to version 3.5.9. The issue occurs in the dynamic icon API endpoint 'GET /api/icon/getDynamicIcon' when 'type=8' is specified. The vulnerability allows attacker-controlled content to be embedded into SVG output without proper escaping. Since the endpoint is unauthenticated and serves 'image/svg+xml', a crafted URL can inject executable SVG/HTML event handlers, such as 'onerror', executing JavaScript in the SiYuan web origin. This exploitation can be chained to perform authenticated API actions and exfiltrate sensitive data when a logged-in user accesses the malicious link.
Users are advised to update to SiYuan version 3.5.9 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
