Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-28128 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- strapi (npm): affected all versions up to 3.6.0; no fix listed\n- strapi (npm): affected all versions up to 3.6.0; no fix listed\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-2021-28128/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28128/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-28128","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-28128/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-28128","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-37hx-4mcq-wc3h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Strapi CMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker with a valid session can take over an account by changing the password without providing the current one.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"strapi","vendor":"strapi"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-640","name":"Weak Password Recovery Mechanism for Forgotten Password"}],"description":"In Strapi through 3.6.0, the admin panel allows the changing of one's own password without entering the current password.
