Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Summary It's possible to access any private fields by filtering through the lookup parameters ### Details Using the new lookup operator provided by the document service in Strapi 5, it is not properly sanitizing this query operator for private fields. ### PoC 1. Create a strapi app. 2. Create a content-type 3. In the content-type you make a new entry 4. Go back to the list view 4. Add `&lookup[updatedBy][password][$startsWith]=$2` to the end of your url (All passwords start with $2) see that all entries are still there 6. Add `&lookup[updatedBy][password][$startsWith]=$3` see the entry disappear proving that the search above works ### Impact An attacker can perform filtering attacks on everything related to the object, including admin passwords and reset-tokens. This means that they can gain full access to the strapi instance.
