CVE-2026-54067 siyuan-note CVE debrief

Who should care

SiYuan users, particularly those with synced workspaces, should assess their exposure and upgrade to version 3.7.0 or later. Users who have turned off enabledJS are still vulnerable to this attack.

Why it matters

CVE-2026-54067 is a critical vulnerability in SiYuan that allows for arbitrary JavaScript execution in the renderer. Defenders should prioritize upgrading to version 3.7.0 or later, restrict user access to synced workspaces, and monitor for suspicious activity. The vulnerability bypasses the user's enabledCSS / enabledJS separation, making it a high-priority issue for SiYuan users.

• Arbitrary JavaScript execution in the renderer
• Potential for host RCE via require('child_process') on Electron desktop builds
• Bypasses user's enabledCSS / enabledJS separation
• Exploitation requires write access to a synced workspace

Technical summary

The vulnerability exists in the renderSnippet() function, which interpolates CSS snippets via insertAdjacentHTML. A crafted CSS snippet containing </style> can break out of its surrounding <style> tag, allowing for arbitrary JavaScript execution in the renderer. This issue bypasses the user's enabledCSS / enabledJS separation, allowing JavaScript execution even when enabledJS is turned off. The vulnerability is fixed in version 3.7.0 and affects SiYuan users with synced workspaces. Defenders should prioritize upgrading to version 3.7.0 or later and restrict user access to synced workspaces.
