AI-suggested
To mitigate this vulnerability, organizations and users should immediately upgrade SiYuan to version 3.6.1 or later, where the issue is fixed by proper HTML escaping of package metadata fields. Until upgrading, users should avoid browsing or installing packages from untrusted or unknown sources in the Bazaar marketplace. Administrators can consider disabling or restricting access to the Bazaar page to reduce exposure. Additionally, running SiYuan in a hardened Electron environment by disabling nodeIntegration and enabling contextIsolation can prevent escalation of XSS to RCE. Employing endpoint protection solutions that detect anomalous script execution or suspicious process behavior may help detect exploitation attempts. Regularly monitoring for updates and advisories from the SiYuan project is essential. Finally, educating users about the risks of installing unverified packages can reduce the likelihood of successful attacks.
Description
CVE-2026-33067 is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SiYuan personal knowledge management system versions 3.6.0 and below. It arises from improper HTML escaping of package metadata fields, allowing malicious package authors to inject arbitrary HTML/JavaScript. Due to SiYuan's Electron configuration with nodeIntegration enabled and contextIsolation disabled, this XSS leads directly to remote code execution on the victim's OS without user interaction beyond opening the Bazaar page. The vulnerability is fixed in version 3.6.1. The CVSS 4.0 score is 5.
