Cross-notebook read and write via stacked SQL injection
Published Aug 3, 2026 · Updated Aug 3, 2026
SQL injection in SiYuan before 3.7.3 allows remote attackers to read and modify cleartext notebook data via a crafted search keyword. The searchDocs and NAMFilter paths splice each keyword token into SQL LIKE literals without escaping or binding, then execute the query on a read-write SQLite handle that accepts stacked statements. A publish RoleReader token is sufficient, and anonymous access works when publish authentication is disabled; encrypted notebooks are excluded and default builds do not permit code execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
