Code execution via forged clipboard format
Published Sep 8, 2026 · Updated Sep 10, 2026
Cross-site scripting in SiYuan before 3.8.2 allows remote attackers to execute code when a user pastes content from a crafted web page. The paste handler treats forged text/siyuan data or specially marked plain text as trusted, bypasses Lute.Sanitize, and writes the payload into executable DOM sinks. Copying attacker-controlled content and pasting it into a desktop note is required; injected script then gains Node.js access at the user's privileges.
