Also known as[CVE-2023-22894](/vulnerability/CVE-2023-22894) Published Apr 19, 2023 Updated Nov 8, 2023 Affected 1 pkg Patched 1 / 1 Exploits 4 known Exploitation data as of Nov 8, 2026 · OSV.dev, NVD, CISA KEV, FIRST.org (EPSS) ## Exploitation Status ### Actively exploited in the wild - Confirmed by CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-10-08. Federal agencies were required to remediate by 2026-10-11. - A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

The unauthenticated attacker can filter users by columns that contain sensitive information and infer the values by the changes in the API responses. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to hijack Strapi administrator accounts and gain unauthorized Strapi Super Administrator access by leaking the password reset token and changing the admin password. This can be exploited on all Strapi versions <=4.7.1. #### IoC The exploitation of CVE-2023-22894 is easily detectable, since the payload is within the GET parameters and are normally included in request logs. The following regex pattern will extract requests that are exploiting this vulnerability to leak user's email, password and password reset token columns. `/(\[|%5B)\s*(email|password|reset_password_token|resetPasswordToken)\s*(\]|%5D)/` You can search log files for this IoC by using the following grep command. `grep -iE '(\[|%5B)\s*(email|password|reset_password_token|resetPasswordToken)\s*(\]|%5D)' $PATH_TO_LOG_FILE` If the above regex pattern matches any lines in your log files, take extra precaution to look out for multiple requests that include password, reset\_password\_token or resetPasswordToken. This would indicate that an attacker has leaked the password hashes and reset tokens on your Strapi server and you need to immediately start an incident response! #### Impact All Strapi users below 4.8.0 ## Affected Packages 1 total 1 fixed Ecosystem Package Vulnerable range Fix 📦npm `@strapi/strapi` ≥ 3.2.1&&< 4.8.0 4.8.0`npm install @strapi/strapi@4.8.0` ## Affected Products 1 product · 1 configurations Application `strapi`strapi ≥ 3.2.1 && < 4.8.0 range Exploits & PoCs 4 Research use only.

O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands. ## Frequently Asked Questions \### Summary Strapi through 4.7.1 allows unauthenticated attackers to discover sensitive user details for Strapi administrators and API users. ### Details Strapi through 4.7.1 allows unauthenticated attackers to discover sensitive user details for Strapi administrators and API users.
