📄 Description (English)

Strapi is an open source headless content management system. In versions on the 4.x branch prior to 4.26.1 and on the 5.x branch prior to 5.33.2, a database-query injection vulnerability existed in the Strapi Content-Type Builder write API. An authenticated administrator could inject arbitrary database statements through the `column.defaultTo` attribute when creating or modifying a content type. Setting `defaultTo` as a tuple `[value, { isRaw: true }]` caused the value to be passed directly into Knex's `db.connection.raw()` during schema migration without sanitization, allowing arbitrary statement execution at the database layer. Depending on the database engine, this enabled arbitrary file read via database utility functions, denial of service via forced server crash on schema-migration error, and on engines that permit external program execution, remote code execution against the database server. The patch in versions 4.26.1 and 5.33.2 addresses this by restricting all Content-Type Builder write APIs to development mode only. Production deployments running v5.33.2 or later return 404 for requests against `/content-type-builder/content-types` and related endpoints, removing the network-reachable attack surface entirely.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

Strapi versions before 4.26.1 and 5.33.2 contain a database injection vulnerability in the Content-Type Builder API allowing authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary SQL statements. This vulnerability enables unauthorized file access, denial of service, and potential remote code execution depending on the database engine configuration.

🔧 Remediation Steps (English)
Immediately upgrade Strapi to version 4.26.1 or later for 4.x branch, or version 5.33.2 or later for 5.x branch. Restrict administrative access to the Content-Type Builder API to trusted personnel only. Implement database-level access controls and monitor for suspicious schema migration activities. Review and audit all existing content types for potentially malicious defaultTo configurations.
🔧 خطوات المعالجة (العربية)
قم بالترقية الفورية إلى Strapi الإصدار 4.26.1 أو أحدث للفرع 4.x، أو الإصدار 5.33.2 أو أحدث للفرع 5.x. قيد الوصول الإداري إلى واجهة برنامج بناء نوع المحتوى للموظفين الموثوقين فقط. طبق عناصر تحكم الوصول على مستوى قاعدة البيانات ومراقبة الأنشطة المريبة في هجرة المخطط. راجع وتدقيق جميع أنواع المحتوى الموجودة للتحقق من وجود تكوينات defaultTo ضارة محتملة.
