Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-13961 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- strapi (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 3.0.2\n- strapi (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 3.0.2\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-13961/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-13961/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-13961","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-13961/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-13961","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-65wv-528r-m892"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Strapi CMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject malicious code into email templates via unsanitized global variables, allowing modification of password reset and confirmation emails.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"strapi","vendor":"strapi"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Strapi before 3.0.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions because templates are stored in a global variable without any sanitation.
