CVE-2020-13961
Strapi before 3.0.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions because templates are stored in a global variable without any sanitation.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.67%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Strapi before 3.0.2 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to bypass security restrictions because templates are stored in a global variable without any sanitation. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to update the email template for both password reset and account confirmation emails.
