Workspace compromise via incomplete asset extension blocklist
Published Sep 2, 2026 · Updated Sep 2, 2026
Stored XSS in SiYuan before 3.8.2 allows remote authenticated users to compromise workspaces through script-capable assets. The isAssetInlineUnsafe function in kernel/server/serve.go treats recognized extensions absent from its blocklist as safe for inline serving, omitting Content-Disposition for executable XML and HTML aliases. An authenticated user must place and open such an asset; same-origin script can then steal the API token and gain persistent read and write access to workspace data.
