Stored XSS to RCE in SiYuan Attribute View Cover Asset Handling
CVE-2026-34448 affects SiYuan, a personal knowledge management system. In versions prior to 3.6.2, an attacker who can place a malicious URL into an Attribute View mAsse field can trigger a stored cross-site scripting condition when a victim opens the Gallery or Kanban view with "Cover From -> Asset Field" enabled. The vulnerable logic accepts arbitrary HTTP(S) URLs without file extensions as image sources, stores the attacker-controlled value in coverURL, and injects it directly into an <img src="..."> attribute without proper escaping or neutralization. In the Electron desktop client, the impact is amplified because nodeIntegration is enabled and contextIsolation is disabled, allowing injected JavaScript to escape the browser context and reach arbitrary operating system command execution under the victim user context.
