DescriptionGitHub Advisory

SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.5.10, SiYuan's SVG sanitizer (SanitizeSVG) blocks dangerous elements (<script>, <iframe>, <foreignobject>) and removes on* event handlers and javascript: in href attributes. However, it does NOT block SVG animation elements (<animate>, <set>) which can dynamically set attributes to dangerous values at runtime, bypassing the static sanitization. This allows an attacker to inject executable JavaScript into the unauthenticated /api/icon/getDynamicIcon endpoint (type=8), creating a reflected XSS. This is a bypass of the fix for CVE-2026-29183 (fixed in v3.5.9). This vulnerability is fixed in v3.5.10.

AnalysisAI

Reflected XSS in SiYuan's /api/icon/getDynamicIcon endpoint allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript through SVG animation elements that bypass the sanitizer's static filters. The vulnerability exists because the SVG sanitizer blocks script tags and event handlers but fails to restrict <animate> and <set> elements, which can dynamically modify attributes at runtime to execute code. Public exploit code exists and patches are not yet available for affected versions prior to 3.5.10.
