Update github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel to 0.0.0-20260116101155-11115da3d0de or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j in my Go dependencies?

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.

How do I mitigate GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

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 does O3 Security protect against GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j?

GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 21th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j?

GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j is classified as Cross-site Scripting (XSS) (CWE-79). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j published, and has it been updated?

GHSA-pcjq-j3mq-jv5j was published on January 16, 2026 and was last updated on February 3, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in SiYuan Note. The application does not sanitize uploaded SVG files. If a user uploads and views a malicious SVG file (e.g., imported from an untrusted source), arbitrary JavaScript code is executed in the context of their authenticated session.

Details

The application allows authenticated users to upload files, including .svg images, without sanitizing the input to remove embedded JavaScript code (such as <script> tags or event handlers).

PoC

Create a new "Daily note" in the workspace. <img width="1287" height="572" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3a4389b9-695d-4e1b-94dc-72efdb047aa9" />
Create a file named test.svg with malicious JavaScript inside:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="200" height="200" viewBox="0 0 124 124" fill="none">
<rect width="124" height="124" rx="24" fill="red"/>
   <script type="text/javascript">  
      alert(window.origin);
   </script>
</svg>

Upload a file in current daily note: <img width="1617" height="316" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6e14318a-08ec-48e5-b278-9174ad17cfcb" />

Right-click the uploaded asset in the note.
Select "Export" <img width="934" height="718" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ec943dfa-92ba-47f6-8b1e-56e53f1b0ca6" />

The JavaScript code executes immediately. <img width="1033" height="632" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a1611291-d333-4f8e-9da9-62104aaa1bdd" />

Impact

The vulnerability allows to upload an SVG file containing malicious scripts. When a user exports this file, the embedded arbitrary JavaScript code is executed within their browser context
