CVE-2022-30617Network attack vector

Admin account takeover via leaked reset tokens

Published May 19, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Information disclosure in Strapi 3.0.0 through 3.6.9 and 4.0.0 beta2 through beta15 allows remote authenticated users to obtain reset tokens. Admin API responses fail to remove private user attributes when serializing direct or indirect creator and updater relationships to accessible content. Admin-panel access and a related content record are required; a leaked token enables account takeover through the password-reset workflow.
