Insecure password handling vulnerability in Strapi
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |

| npm | @strapi/strapi | >= 4.0.0, < 4.1.5 | 4.1.5 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
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. From this, the attacker can get the victim's cookie, base64 decode it, and obtain a cleartext password, leading to getting API documentation for further API attacks.
