8.7 HIGH

Authenticated editor injects the payload (PR:L) and a separate victim must render the view (UI:R); the XSS crosses into the victim's context (S:C) with high confidentiality/integrity impact but no direct availability effect.

CRITICAL 9.4

DescriptionCVE.org

SiYuan versions before v3.7.4 fail to validate or escape the color field in attribute-view select options, allowing stored cross-site scripting through eight unescaped render sites. Attackers can inject event-handler attributes by including quotation marks in the color value, executing arbitrary JavaScript when viewing databases containing the malicious select field.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in SiYuan before v3.7.4 lets a workspace user with edit rights persist JavaScript by injecting event-handler attributes through the unescaped color field of an attribute-view (database) select option. The payload fires whenever any user renders a database containing the malicious select field, across eight distinct render sites that all fail to escape the value. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires an authenticated user with permission to create or modify an attribute-view (database) select option (PR:L), the ability to set the option's color field to a value containing a quotation mark to break out into an event-handler attribute, and a victim who subsequently views a document/database containing that malicious select field (UI:P - passive interaction, simply rendering the view). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H, 9.4) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity attack needing only low privileges (an authenticated editing user) and passive victim interaction (opening the affected database view). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with editing access to a shared SiYuan workspace creates or edits a database (attribute view) select column and sets an option's color to a value containing a quote plus an event handler that runs JavaScript. When a colleague or admin later opens a document containing that database, the payload executes in their session, enabling actions such as exfiltrating workspace content or performing requests as the victim. …
Remediation Upgrade to SiYuan v3.7.4 or later, which escapes the select-option color field at all affected render sites (Vendor-released patch: v3.7.4), per GHSA-m7cc-jh9q-wxg8 (https://github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/security/advisories/GHSA-m7cc-jh9q-wxg8). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all SiYuan instances and document versions (vulnerable if before v3.7.4), restrict database edit permissions to essential personnel only, and disable non-critical database sharing. …
