Summary
Strapi, an open-source content management system, prior to version 4.10.8 allowed anyone to make content-type attributes public without realizing it. This vulnerability could lead to sensitive information being exposed as users might unknowingly remove the privateAttributes protection mechanism.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be at risk of sensitive data exposure or system takeover by an attacker gaining access to password hashes. The potential risk affects all users who modify or extend content types.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to version 4.10.8, which includes a patch for this vulnerability. Users should also be cautious about how they modify content types to avoid unintended attribute exposure.
Other vulnerabilities in Strapi
See all- CVE-2026-27886High
Strapi is an open-source content management system that in versions from 4.0.0 to prior to 5.37.0 did not sufficiently sanitize query parameters when filtering content via relational fields. An unauthenticated attacker could use the `where` query parameter to perform a boolean-oracle attack against private fields in the `admin_users` table, allowing for administrative account takeover.
- CVE-2026-90561High
Strapi versions 4.x through 4.26.2 and 5.x before 5.48.1 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the content manager WYSIWYG preview component that fails to strip script tags from rich text. An Author-role user can store malicious script tags in rich text fields that execute in an Editor or Super Admin's session when the preview pane is expanded, enabling account takeover.
- CVE-2026-57997Medium
The Strapi users-permissions plugin fails to restrict JWT algorithms when plugin::users-permissions.jwt.algorithm is not explicitly configured, allowing acceptance of HS384 and HS512 tokens alongside HS256. Attackers possessing the jwtSecret can mint tokens with non-standard HMAC variants to bypass algorithm restrictions and weaken authentication controls.
- CVE-2023-34235High
Strapi, an open-source content management system, prior to version 4.10.8, allows leaking private fields when using the `t(number)` prefix. Changing the prefix in Knex queries can expose protected data such as admin passwords.
- CVE-2022-32114High
An unrestricted file upload vulnerability in Strapi 4.1.12's Add New Assets function allows XSS attacks via a crafted PDF file. The project documentation notes that users with Media Library upload permissions can upload PDFs containing JavaScript, and all files in the public assets folder are externally accessible.
Original NVD description (English source)
Strapi is an open-source headless content management system. Prior to version 4.10.8, anyone (Strapi developers, users, plugins) can make every attribute of a Content-Type public without knowing it. The vulnerability only affects the handling of content types by Strapi, not the actual content types themselves. Users can use plugins or modify their own content types without realizing that the `privateAttributes` getter is being removed, which can result in any attribute becoming public. This can lead to sensitive information being exposed or the entire system being taken control of by an attacker(having access to password hashes). Anyone can be impacted, depending on how people are using/extending content-types. If the users are mutating the content-type, they will not be affected. Version 4.10.8 contains a patch for this issue.
