id: CVE-2026-31809

info:
  name: SiYuan <= v3.5.9 - Cross Site Scripting
  author: 0x_Akoko
  severity: medium
  description: |
   SiYuan v3.5.10 contains a reflected XSS caused by improper sanitization of javascript: href attributes allowing ASCII control characters to bypass prefix checks in SVG sanitizer, letting unauthenticated attackers execute JavaScript via /api/icon/getDynamicIcon.
  impact: |
   Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in users' browsers, leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks.
  remediation: |
   Update to version 3.5.10 or later.
