Description

Impact

A user can submit a request that exploits a SQL Injection vulnerability in Payload.

You are affected if:

  • You use an affected Payload version.
  • Untrusted users can query readable collections using dynamic filters or joins.

You are not affected if you use MongoDB (@payloadcms/mongodb).

Patches

Users should upgrade Payload packages to >= 3.88.0 or >= 4.0.0-canary.27.

Workarounds

Upgrading to a patched version is recommended. Until you can upgrade, restrict untrusted users from supplying dynamic query filters or join parameters and limit read access to affected collections.
