Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability is classified as Exposure of Sensitive Information (CWE-200), which allows attackers to access sensitive data that should not be disclosed. 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. Affected products include: Strapi. Version information: version 4.10.8.
