Synopsis

Strapi Cognito Provider Authentication Bypass

Description

Strapi is a popular open-source headless CMS built with Node.js. Strapi versions after 3.2.0 and before 4.6.0 suffer from a lack of validation of JWT tokens sent through the AWS Cognito authentication provider during the OAuth flow.

By forging a custom JWT token with any signature, a remote and unauthenticated attacker can impersonate any user who use AWS Cognito to authenticate against the target application.

Solution

Upgrade to Strapi version 4.6.0 or latest.
