Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-22706?

CVE-2026-22706 affects the following packages: @strapi/admin (npm), @strapi/plugin-users-permissions (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-22706?

Update @strapi/admin to 5.33.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-22706 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-22706 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for @strapi/admin, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-22706 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.

Is CVE-2026-22706 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-22706 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-22706?

CVE-2026-22706 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 28th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-22706?

CVE-2026-22706 is classified as CWE-613 (CWE-613). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-22706 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-22706 was published on May 14, 2026 and was last updated on October 28, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Summary of CVE-2026-22706 Vulnerability Details

CVE: CVE-2026-22706
CVSS v3.1 Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N (2.1 — Low)
Affected Versions: @strapi/admin and @strapi/plugin-users-permissions <=5.33.2
How to Patch: Immediately update your Strapi to >=5.33.3

Description of CVE-2026-22706

In Strapi versions prior to 5.33.3, changing or resetting a user's password did not invalidate the user's existing refresh-token sessions by default. The refresh-token invalidation step in the users-permissions and admin authentication controllers was conditional on a caller-supplied deviceId. When a password change or reset request did not include a deviceId, no refresh tokens were revoked, leaving every prior session active.

An attacker who had previously obtained a refresh token could continue minting new access tokens after the legitimate user reset their password, allowing persistent unauthorized access for the lifetime of the refresh token (up to 30 days by default). Rotating credentials no longer terminated an active attacker session, defeating password reset as a containment measure.

The patch invalidates all refresh tokens associated with the user on every password change and password reset, regardless of whether a deviceId is supplied. A new device-scoped session is then issued to the caller as part of the response.

IoC's for CVE-2026-22706

Indicators that an instance running an unpatched version may have been exploited:

Successful POST /api/auth/refresh or POST /admin/access-token requests using a refresh token issued before the user's most recent password change. Reviewable by correlating refresh-token iat claims against password-change events in audit logs
New access-token issuances for a user whose password was reset within the past 30 days, originating from an IP or User-Agent that did not perform the reset
Multiple active refresh tokens for a single user across distinct IPs after a password reset event
Database query: rows in strapi_session with created_at earlier than the user's most recent password-reset timestamp and status = 'active'
