Vulnerability from github – Published: 2020-09-04 16:54 – Updated: 2025-12-29 15:34

Summary

Command Injection in strapi

Details

Versions of strapi before 3.0.0-beta.17.8 are vulnerable to Command Injection. The package fails to sanitize plugin names in the /admin/plugins/install/ route. This may allow an authenticated attacker with admin privileges to run arbitrary commands in the server.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.0.0-beta.17.8 or later

Severity

7.2 (High)
