Reflected XSS in SiYuan dynamic icon API
CVE-2026-29183 is an unauthenticated reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in SiYuan, a personal knowledge management system, affecting versions prior to 3.5.9. The flaw is in the dynamic icon API endpoint GET /api/icon/getDynamicIcon when the request uses type=8. In the vulnerable code path, attacker-controlled input is embedded into SVG output without proper escaping, and the endpoint returns image/svg+xml. As a result, a crafted URL can inject executable SVG/HTML event handlers such as onerror, causing arbitrary JavaScript to execute in the SiYuan web origin when opened by a logged-in user.
