  name: SiYuan <= v3.5.9 - SVG Animate Element XSS
  author: 0x_Akoko
  severity: medium
  description: |
   SiYuan <= v3.5.9 contains a reflected XSS caused by insufficient SVG sanitization allowing SVG animation elements to inject executable JavaScript in /api/icon/getDynamicIcon endpoint, letting unauthenticated attackers execute scripts.
  impact: |
   Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript, leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks.
  remediation: |
   Update to version 3.5.10 or later.
