Stored XSS via unescaped confirmDialog content
Published Aug 30, 2026 · Updated Aug 30, 2026
Stored XSS in SiYuan before 3.8.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a user's browser via malicious package names. The bazaar uninstall and notebook-unlock paths pass unescaped package or notebook names into confirmDialog(), which embeds them in Dialog content assigned directly to innerHTML. Execution requires a user to uninstall the attacker's installed bazaar package or unlock an attacker-named encrypted notebook, exposing data and actions available to that SiYuan session.
