Is this vulnerability remotely exploitable?

It can be exploited remotely in the sense that an attacker can distribute a malicious `.sy` or `.sy.zip` file over the internet or other channels. However, exploitation still requires the victim to import the file into SiYuan and open the affected note.

Does an attacker need prior access to the victim's system?

No direct prior access is required. The attacker only needs a way to convince the victim to import an attacker-crafted SiYuan package. Once imported and opened, the malicious block attributes execute in the victim's environment.

What is the safest general fix pattern?

The safest approach is to ensure strict, context-aware encoding of all user-controlled data before it enters HTML, especially attribute values, combined with allow-listed attribute policies and robust sanitization of imported content. In Electron environments, also harden the runtime so that even successful XSS does not automatically translate into OS-level code execution.
