Description
Impact
A user with query access could use polymorphic join filters to infer hidden or read-restricted field values, including password-reset tokens.
You are affected if:
- You use an affected Payload version.
- Users can query a collection with a polymorphic join to sensitive fields.
Patches
Users should upgrade Payload packages to >= 3.90.0 or >= 4.0.0-canary.34.
Workarounds
There is no complete workaround. Restricting read access to sensitive collections reduces exposure but does not replace upgrading.
NVD description
Payload is a free and open source headless content management system. In versions from 3.0.0 before 3.90.0 and canary versions before 4.0.0-canary.34, a user who can query a collection with a polymorphic join to sensitive fields can infer hidden or read-restricted values, including password-reset tokens, through polymorphic join filters. This issue is fixed in versions 3.90.0 and 4.0.0-canary.34.
