Strapi is a Node.js headless CMS exposing REST and GraphQL APIs. Hardening must prioritize admin and API token segmentation and middleware protections.
¶ 1) Protect secrets and administrative access
- set and rotate APP_KEYS, API_TOKEN_SALT, and ADMIN_JWT_SECRET via secret manager
- separate admin and public API domains or routes where possible
¶ 2) Control extensions and update cadence
- enforce granular role permissions for content types and endpoints
- disable public write access unless explicitly required
¶ 3) Harden runtime and deployment perimeter
- configure CORS, rate limiting, and request size limits
- patch Strapi, plugins, and Node runtime on schedule
