CVE-2026-109310 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-12

SiYuan is a note-taking and knowledge management application that supports publishing workspaces to the internet. The /api/icon/getDynamicIcon endpoint allows publish readers to supply template code that is processed using the Sprig template function library without proper restrictions. An attacker can invoke unbounded functions like until() to allocate arbitrary amounts of memory in a single request, exhausting the server and crashing the kernel, taking down both the published site and the owner's workspace.

## How to fix

- Fixed in v3.8.6

## Technical details

The /api/icon/getDynamicIcon endpoint parses the content query parameter as a Go text/template using Sprig's TxtFuncMap with only three functions removed (env, expandenv, getHostByName). The uncapped until(n) function allocates memory without bounds—a single request can exhaust gigabytes of RAM. Attack requires only publish reader credentials (or none if publish auth is disabled), and allocation scales linearly with the integer parameter chosen by the caller.
