• CVE-2024-52588: 0.59% estimated exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 48.06 (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-03). This is a model estimate, not proof of exploitation or customer exposure.

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Description In Strapi latest version, at function Settings - Webhooks, the application allows us to input a URL in order to create a Webook connection. However, we can input into this field the local domains such as localhost, 127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0,.... in order to make the Application fetching into the internal itself, which causes the vulnerability Server - Side Request Forgery (SSRF). Payloads - http://127.0.0.1:80 - The Port is not open - http://127.0.0.1:1337 - The Port which Strapi is running on Steps to Reproduce - First of all, let's input the URL http://127.0.0.1:80 into the URL field, and click "Save". - Next, use the "Trigger" function and use Burp Suite to capture the request / response - The server return request to http://127.0.0.1/ failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:80, BECAUSE the Port 80 is not open, since we are running Strapi on Port 1337, let's change the URL we input above into http://127.0.0.1:1337 - Continue to click the "Trigger" function, use Burp to…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-52588

Advisory: Strapi allows Server-Side Request Forgery in Webhook function
IDs: CVE-2024-52588, GHSA-v8wj-f5c7-pvxf
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-52588 (revision 2, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:37 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 4.9)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: @strapi/admin 4.25.2. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm @strapi/admin: affected < 4.25.2; fixed in 4.25.2

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls @strapi/admin --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on @strapi/admin.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
