CVE-2026-27886 Details.
Strapi <=5.36.x - Admin Credential Enumeration
Atlas does not check this one. Not a plain web check.
This weakness is not found through ordinary web pages. It needs a different kind of connection to the service. Atlas only runs plain web, DNS and TLS checks, so it does not run this one.
About CVE-2026-27886. What It Means.
Strapi versions starting in 4.0.0 and prior to 5.37.0 did not sufficiently sanitize query parameters when filtering content via relational fields. An attacker could use the `where` query parameter on any publicly-accessible content-type with an `updatedBy` field to perform a boolean-oracle attack against private fields on the joined admin_users table, including the resetPasswordToken field, enabling full administrative account takeover without authentication.
