DescriptionGitHub Advisory

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Versions prior to 3.5.4 are vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting in /api/icon/getDynamicIcon due to unsanitized SVG input. The endpoint generates SVG images for text icons (type=8). The content query parameter is inserted directly into the SVG <text> tag without XML escaping. Since the response Content-Type is image/svg+xml, injecting unescaped tags allows breaking the XML structure and executing JavaScript. Version 3.5.4 patches the issue.]

AnalysisAI

Reflected XSS in SiYuan's /api/icon/getDynamicIcon endpoint allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript through unescaped SVG content in dynamically generated icon images. An unauthenticated attacker can craft a malicious link that, when clicked by a victim, executes arbitrary scripts in the context of the SiYuan application. …
