### :warning: Security Warning and Notice :warning: Strapi was made aware of a critical security vulnerability that was patched in this release, for now we are going to delay the detailed disclosure of the exact details on how to exploit it and how it was patched as we are working with a security researcher to construct a detailed analysis and update the CVE assigned to this issue. For now the delay timeline looks like we will release the detailed information in the next two (2) weeks and we STRONGLY advise all users update to Strapi v4.5.6 as quickly as possible. Please note that this security vulnerability can only be exploited if the malicious actor currently has access to your admin panel. Once we are confident that we have given adequate time for users to update to this release and we have our disclosure information ready for publication we will make it available. If you are a Strapi Enterprise customer and would like to request additional information, please open a ticket with our support team and we will work with you to provide information as we are able to. For those who are unable to update to this release, during our disclosure we will also provide instructions on how you can manually construct a patch and apply it using [Patch Package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/patch-package) and it's likely that we will construct some of these patches ourselves and make them available to you during our disclosure. Finally we wanted to give a massive shout out to the security researcher who reported this vulnerability to us in the format that he did, the detail and information he provided was simply fantastic, once he has finished his own detailed log of the vulnerability we will provide a link so you can view the information from his side. ### ๐Ÿ”ฅ Bug fix * [core:admin] fix: translations of CarouselAssetActions (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15261) @ivan-ha * [core:admin] [fix] Guided tour documentation link (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15284) @ronronscelestes * [core:content-manager] fix(content-manager): close ListSettingsView/EditFieldForm with escape (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15196) @jhoward1994 * [core:strapi] Fix: Publishing single-type if config is true, and allow updating the drafts - api (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/14767) @iifawzi * [core:strapi] Fix runMigrations (#15308) (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15374) @denisukvadim * [core:upload] fix: broken translations in EditFolderDialog and various zh translations in Media Library (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15278) @ivan-ha * [core:upload] fix: zh translations of content-manager.containers.Edit.information.by (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15289) @ivan-ha * [typescript] Remove generic typing form GenericeService (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/14208) @Bassel17 ### ๐Ÿ“– Documentation * [docs] Update the Code Of Conduct (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/14553) @paulaxisabel * [docs] Update Sentry plugin readme regarding non-prod env (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15208) @GregorSondermeier ### โš™๏ธ Chore * [core:content-manager] fix: translations of RelationInputDataManager (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15288) @ivan-ha * [core:strapi] feat: Hungarian admin translations (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15296) @pataiadam * [dependencies] chore(deps): bump apollo-server-core from 3.1.2 to 3.11.1 (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/14789) @dependabot * [dependencies] chore(deps): bump graphql-scalars from 1.17.0 to 1.20.1 (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/14987) @dependabot * [dependencies] chore(deps): bump json5 from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 in /docs (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15303) @dependabot * [docs] Update security and readme for v3 EOL (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15182) @derrickmehaffy * [docs] Clean markdown files with prettier (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15348) @innerdvations * [typescript] Fix RouterConfig type (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15011) @drubetti ### ๐Ÿ’… Enhancement * [core:content-type-builder] [Modals]: add in prompt to CTB modals to avoid premature closing and data loss (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15381) @joshuaellis * [tooling] Add --cache option to lint and prettier scripts (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15213) @innerdvations * [tooling] Use cache for lint-staged scripts (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15349) @innerdvations * [tooling] Prevent license ping for api tests (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15399) @Convly ### ๐Ÿšจ Security * [dependencies] Fix CVE-2022-23539 / CVE-2022-23541 / CVE-2022-23540 / CVE-2022-23529 (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15397) @derrickmehaffy * [plugin:users-permissions] Update U&P email templating (https://github.com/strapi/strapi/pull/15385) @Convly --- ### ๐Ÿ“š Update and Migration Guides - General update guide can be found [here](https://docs.strapi.io/developer-docs/latest/update-migration-guides/update-version.html) - Migration guides can be found [here](https://docs.strapi.io/developer-docs/latest/update-migration-guides/migration-guides.html) ๐Ÿ“š
