CVE-2026-50551: SiYuan: Stored XSS to RCE via Unsanitized Attribute View Asset Cell Content

July 10, 2026

SiYuan v3.6.5 and earlier versions contain a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Attribute View (database) asset cell renderer that escalates to remote code execution (RCE) in the Electron desktop client. This is a neighbor-bug of CVE-2026-44588: the fix for -44588 used escapeAriaLabel() (double-escapes <), but the AV asset renderers were left using the weaker escapeAttr() (escapes only quotes) or no escaping at all.
