SCA: security update for github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (GHSA-4663-4mpg-879v)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 438948

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- SiYuan is a personal knowledge management system. In versions 3.6.0 and below, the backend renderREADME
function uses lute.New() without calling SetSanitize(true), allowing raw HTML embedded in Markdown to pass
through unmodified. The frontend then assigns the rendered HTML to innerHTML without any additional
sanitization. A malicious package author can embed arbitrary JavaScript in their README that executes when
a user clicks to view the package details. Because SiYuan's Electron configuration enables
nodeIntegration: true with contextIsolation: false, this XSS escalates directly to full Remote Code
Execution. The issue was patched in version 3.6.1. (CVE-2026-33066)

Solution

Update the github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel library and its related packages to version 0.0.0-20260314111550-b382f50e1880 or later.
