Summary

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.

Risk Assessment

Stored XSS allows takeover of higher-privileged user sessions, including Super Admin, leading to full CMS compromise. The risk affects any Strapi installation with multiple user roles.

Recommendation

Upgrade Strapi to version 4.26.3 or later in the 4.x branch, or 5.48.1 or later in the 5.x branch. Limit the number of Author-role users and consider deploying Content-Security-Policy headers.
