Strapi, a headless CMS, offers a high level of flexibility to developers by providing a backend-only API that can be used with any frontend. It was created using Node.js and React and supports various databases such as PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, and MariaDB. However, like other headless CMSs, Strapi has its security challenges, including SQL injection, denial-of-service attacks, cross-site request forgery, brute-force attacks, and inconsistent authorization. To address these concerns, Strapi provides a secure configuration system, validation through Joi, sanitization using sanitize-html, role-based permissions, and policies to restrict access to certain routes. Additionally, it's essential to prevent data leakage by restricting access to sensitive user data. By implementing these security measures, developers can ensure the safety of their Strapi application and protect their business or users from potential attacks.
