CVE-2026-50551Public exploitNetwork attack vector

OS command execution via unescaped asset content

Published Jun 24, 2026 · Updated Jun 24, 2026

Stored XSS in SiYuan before 3.7.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute OS commands via a crafted Attribute View asset cell. The asset renderers concatenate unescaped item names or content into HTML, and tooltip code decodes weakly escaped aria-label text before assigning it to innerHTML. Execution occurs when a malicious synced or imported note is opened or its asset cell is hovered; Electron exposes Node.js child-process APIs at the victim's privileges.
