To secure the "uploads" endpoint in Strapi, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Strapi admin panel and navigate to the "Settings" section.

  2. Click on the "Roles and Permissions" section.

  3. Create a new role (e.g., "Uploader") and grant it permissions to upload files and manage their own content.

  4. Assign the "Uploader" role to the users who should have access to the "uploads" endpoint.

  5. Add an authentication middleware to the "uploads" endpoint to ensure that only authenticated users with the "Uploader" role can access it.

  6. You can also add file upload size limits and file type restrictions to prevent malicious uploads that could harm your system or compromise sensitive data.

  7. Test the security of the "uploads" endpoint by attempting to upload a file without authentication or with a user without the "Uploader" role.
