What is CVE-2026-59834?

CVE-2026-59834 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in siyuan-note siyuan, published on 9 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

SiYuan is an open-source personal knowledge management system. Prior to 3.7.1, the block search endpoint POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock concatenates attacker-controlled paths values into SQL predicates used by non-SQL search modes, allowing an unauthenticated publish visitor to inject a UNION SELECT and return rows from hidden documents by projecting an allowed visible box and path. This issue is fixed in versions 3.7.1.

Weakness: CWE-89
