CVE-2026-33066 PUBLISHED

SiYuan has Stored XSS to RCE via Unsanitized Bazaar README Rendering

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 17.03.2026 Published: 20.03.2026 Updated: 20.03.2026

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. In versions 3.6.0 and below, the backend renderREADME function uses lute.New() without calling SetSanitize(true), allowing raw HTML embedded in Markdown to pass through unmodified. The frontend then assigns the rendered HTML to innerHTML without any additional sanitization. A malicious package author can embed arbitrary JavaScript in their README that executes when a user clicks to view the package details. Because SiYuan's Electron configuration enables nodeIntegration: true with contextIsolation: false, this XSS escalates directly to full Remote Code Execution. The issue was patched in version 3.6.1.
