Original description
The description as published by the source.
CVE: This vulnerability corresponds to CVE-2026-72807.
Summary
Attribute-view (AV) template columns are live-evaluated on every render and expose the queryBlocks template function, which runs raw SQL on the read-write database handle (SelectBlocksRawStmt, using ?→argument string substitution rather than parameter binding). AV mutations are admin-gated, so this is not directly reader-injectable but it is a second-order vector: an attacker distributes a SiYuan document or AV package whose template column contains .action{queryBlocks ""} when a victim imports the package and renders the AV, the attacker's SQL executes on the victim's kernel (read and, via statement stacking, write).
Details
Doc-level {{…}} templates are rendered at insert-time and become static, so they are not re-evaluated on reader view. The residual is AV template columns, which are live-evaluated at render. queryBlocks passes its argument to SelectBlocksRawStmt with ?→arg string substitution, not a bound parameter, on the main read-write handle (88250/go-sqlite3 fork, statement-stacking capable) so an attacker-controlled template argument becomes arbitrary SQL.
The SSTI surface is otherwise hardened: BuiltInTemplateFuncs deletes env, expandenv, and getHostByName so there is no environment/host/file/exec SSTI. queryBlocks-to-SQL is the remaining live-evaluated sink.
Proof of Concept
An AV template column set…

Patched: 0.0.0-20260723035036-0a176345e02a — apply immediately
Plan: 1) Audit SBOM/dependencies, 2) Stage→prod upgrade, 3) Add WAF/proxy monitoring on affected endpoints, 4) Hunt IOCs in logs.
Refs: see the GHSA / vendor advisory / patched release linked on this page.
SQL injection (CWE-89) exists in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /api/filetree/createDocWithMd without authentication.
Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Attack surface: POST /api/filetree/createDocWithMd / POST /api/av/renderAttributeView / queryBlocks / SelectBlocksRawStmt.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.0/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Update to 0.0.0-20260723035036-0a176345e02a.
Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.
Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual POST /api/filetree/createDocWithMd requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r 'github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.
