Description
SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.6.4, SiYuan configures Mermaid.js with securityLevel: "loose" and htmlLabels: true. In this mode, <img> tags with src attributes survive Mermaid's internal DOMPurify and land in SVG <foreignObject> blocks. The SVG is injected via innerHTML with no secondary sanitization. When a victim opens a note containing a malicious Mermaid diagram, the Electron client fetches the URL. On Windows, a protocol-relative URL (//attacker.com/image.png) resolves as a UNC path (\attacker.com\image.png). Windows attempts SMB authentication automatically, sending the victim's NTLMv2 hash to the attacker. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.6.4.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel to 0.0.0-20260407035653-2f416e5253f1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-40107 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2026-40107 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.
Tailored to CVE-2026-40107. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CVE-2026-40107 in your dependencies?
O3 Security finds CVE-2026-40107 across Go dependencies, including transitive ones, and its impact-aware SCA ranks findings by whether your code actually calls the vulnerable path.
