Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be vulnerable to filtering attacks that can reveal sensitive information, including passwords and reset tokens. This poses a serious threat to data security.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade Strapi to version 4.10.8 or later to mitigate this issue. Additionally, review and adjust the prefix configuration in queries.
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-2026-57997Medium
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-2023-34093Medium
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.
- 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, it is possible to leak private fields if one is using the `t(number)` prefix. Knex query allows users to change the default prefix. For example, if someone changes the prefix to be the same as it was before or to another table they want to query, the query changes from `password` to `t1.password`. `password` is protected by filtering protections but `t1.password` is not protected. This can lead to filtering attacks on everything related to the object again, including admin passwords and reset-tokens. Version 4.10.8 fixes this issue.
