SQL Injection in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-69084)
Summary
SQL injection in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-69084). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via CheckAuth. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.0.0-20260721002947-23a17d44b5f3 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
CVE: This vulnerability corresponds to CVE-2026-69084.
Summary
The /api/search/searchEmbedBlock endpoint passes a client-supplied SQL statement verbatim to the database with no validation. The endpoint is gated by CheckAuth only reachable by the publish RoleReader token, and by the anonymous account when Publish.Auth.Enable is false. The statement runs on the main read-write siyuan.db handle through a driver that executes stacked statements, with no single-statement or read-only guard. An unauthenticated request can therefore execute arbitrary SQL reading and writing content across all cleartext notebooks.
Unlike SQL injection into a fixed query, this endpoint accepts a full SQL statement by design and simply fails to restrict who may call it or what the statement may do.
Details
Data flow verbatim, unvalidated:
searchEmbedBlock(kernel/api/search.go):stmt := arg["stmt"].(string)passed directly tomodel.SearchEmbedBlock(stmt, …). No validation.SearchEmbedBlock→SearchEmbedBlockInBox→sql.SelectBlocksRawStmtNoParse(stmt, …)→selectBlocksRawStmt→query(stmt).query()(kernel/sql/database.go) callsdb.Query(stmt)on the globalsiyuan.dbhandle.
Missing guards. The comparable endpoints enforce restrictions this one omits:
/api/query/sqlrunsCheckSingleStatement(all modes) andCheckReadonlyStatement(readonly mode) and is route-gated `CheckAuth + Che…
