An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-46440 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- @strapi/strapi (npm): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.1.5\n- @strapi/strapi (npm): affected from 4.0.0; fixed in 4.1.5\n- strapi (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 3.6.9\n- strapi (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 3.6.9\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-2021-46440/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46440/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-46440","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46440/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-46440","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-85vg-grr5-pw42"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Strapi CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can retrieve cleartext passwords from cookies in the Strapi DOCUMENTATION plugin, enabling account takeover and API access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"strapi","vendor":"strapi"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"Storing passwords in a recoverable format in the DOCUMENTATION plugin component of Strapi before 3.6.9 and 4.x before 4.1.5 allows an attacker to access a victim's HTTP request, get the victim's cookie, perform a base64 decode on the victim's cookie, and obtain a cleartext password, leading to getting API documentation for further API attacks.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Insecure password handling vulnerability in Strapi","id":"CVE-2021-46440","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2021"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-46441"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["4.1.5"],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"@strapi/strapi","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-85vg-grr5-pw42"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["4.1.5"],"introduced":["4.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"@strapi/strapi","purl":"pkg:npm/%40strapi/strapi","source":"GHSA-85vg-grr5-pw42"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["3.6.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"strapi","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-85vg-grr5-pw42"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["3.6.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"strapi","purl":"pkg:npm/strapi","source":"GHSA-85vg-grr5-pw42"}],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2021-46439"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-05-03","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Strapi Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information","id":"CVE-2023-22894","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2023-04-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Strapi plugins vulnerable to Server-Side Template Injection and Remote Code Execution in the Users-Permissions Plugin","id":"CVE-2023-22621","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in Strapi","id":"CVE-2022-27263","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Authorization bypass in Strapi","id":"CVE-2020-27664","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Strapi allows unauthenticated attacker to reset admin password without valid reset token","id":"CVE-2019-18818","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-07"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Strapi Vulnerable to SQL Injection in Content Type Builder","id":"CVE-2026-22599","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-14"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Strapi may leak sensitive data via relational filtering due to lack of query sanitization","id":"CVE-2026-27886","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can retrieve cleartext passwords from cookies in the Strapi DOCUMENTATION plugin, enabling account takeover and API access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-46440/"}
