Strapi is an open source headless content management system. In Strapi versions prior to 5.33.3, changing or resetting a user's password did not invalidate the user's existing refresh-token sessions by default. The refresh-token invalidation step in the users-permissions and admin authentication controllers was conditional on a caller-supplied `deviceId`. When a password change or reset request did not include a `deviceId`, no refresh tokens were revoked, leaving every prior session active. An attacker who had previously obtained a refresh token could continue minting new access tokens after the legitimate user reset their password, allowing persistent unauthorized access for the lifetime of the refresh token (up to 30 days by default). Rotating credentials no longer terminated an active attacker session, defeating password reset as a containment measure. The patch in version 5.33.3 invalidates all refresh tokens associated with the user on every password change and password reset, regardless of whether a `deviceId` is supplied. A new device-scoped session is then issued to the caller as part of the response.

    ### Summary of CVE-2026-22706 Vulnerability Details - CVE: CVE-2026-22706 - CVSS v3.1 Vector: `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N` (2.1 — Low) - Affected Versions: `@strapi/admin` and `@strapi/plugin-users-permissions` <=5.33.2 - How to Patch: Immediately update your Strapi to >=5.33.3 ### Description of CVE-2026-22706 In Strapi versions prior to 5.33.3, changing or resetting a user's password did not invalidate the user's existing refresh-token sessions by default. The refresh-token invalidation step in the users-permissions and admin authentication controllers was conditional on a caller-supplied `deviceId`. When a password change or reset request did not include a `deviceId`, no refresh tokens were revoked, leaving every prior session active. An attacker who had previously obtained a refresh token could continue minting new access tokens after the legitimate user reset their password, allowing persistent unauthorized access for the lifetime of the refresh token (up to 30 days by default). Rotating credentials no longer terminated an active attacker session, defeating password reset as a containment measure. The patch invalidates all refresh tokens associated with the user on every password change and password reset, regardless of whether a `deviceId` is supplied. A new device-scoped session is then issued to the caller as part of the response. ### IoC's for CVE-2026-22706 Indicators that an instance running an unpatched version may have been exploited: - Successful `POST /api/auth/refresh` or `POST /admin/access-token` requests using a refresh token issued before the user's most recent password change. Reviewable by correlating refresh-token `iat` claims against password-change events in audit logs - New access-token issuances for a user whose password was reset within the past 30 days, originating from an IP or User-Agent that did not perform the reset - Multiple active refresh tokens for a single user across distinct IPs after a password reset event - Database query: rows in `strapi_session` with `created_at` earlier than the user's most recent password-reset timestamp and `status = 'active'` ### References * OWASP ASVS 4.0 – V2.1.1: Session invalidation on credential change * OWASP Top 10 – A2: Broken Authentication ### Credits - bugbunny.ai - AndyAnh174 (concurrent report, 2026-04-09 — originally filed as GHSA-c6gj-8rxm-jrf2, closed as duplicate) - Aastha2602 (concurrent report, 2026-03-10 — originally filed as GHSA-5qvg-4jch-gvf4, closed as duplicate)
