Description

### System Details | Name | Value | |----------|------------------------| | OS | Windows 11 | | Version | 4.11.1 (node v16.14.2) | | Database | mysql | ### Description I marked some fields as private fields in user content-type, and tried to register as a new user via api, at the same time I added content to fill the private fields and sent a post request, and as you can see from the images below, I can write to the private fields. ![register](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/32245914/246987508-9337ffd5-c681-4f51-9a0b-2490b424ca1e.png) ![user](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/32245914/246987564-9f440b3f-a7a3-4710-9b75-0854667fc35d.png) ![private_field](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/32245914/246987590-9c0ecefd-fd64-4221-b642-e730ea55d440.png) ![table](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/32245914/246987604-009e6808-5690-458e-aa87-57dda7d4589d.png) To prevent this, I went to the extension area and tried to extend the register method, for this I wanted to do it using the sanitizeInput function that I know in the source codes of the strap. But the sanitizeInput function did not filter out private fields. ```js const { auth } = ctx.state; const data = ctx.request.body; const userSchema = strapi.getModel("plugin::users-permissions.user"); sanitize.contentAPI.input(data, userSchema, { auth }); ``` here's the solution I've temporarily kept to myself, code snippet ```js const body = ctx.request.body; const { attributes } = strapi.getModel("plugin::users-permissions.user"); const sanitizedData = _.omitBy(body, (data, key) => { const attribute = attributes[key]; if (_.isNil(attribute)) { return false; } //? If you want, you can throw an error for fields that we did not expect. // if (_.isNil(attribute)) // throw new ApplicationError(`Unexpected value ${key}`); // if private value is true, we do not want to send it to the database. return attribute.private; }); return sanitizedData; ```
