SCA: security update for @strapi/core (GHSA-9329-mxxw-qwf8)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435648

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Strapi is an open source headless content management system. Strapi versions prior to 5.20.0 contain a
CORS misconfiguration vulnerability in default installations. By default, Strapi reflects the value of the
Origin header back in the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header without proper validation or
whitelisting. This allows an attacker-controlled site to send credentialed requests to the Strapi backend.
An attacker can exploit this by hosting a malicious site on a different origin (e.g., different port) and
sending requests with credentials to the Strapi API. The vulnerability is fixed in version 5.20.0. No
known workarounds exist. (CVE-2025-53092)
