Payload: SQL Injection in SQLite and Postgres

CVE-2026-105845GHSA-v49j-62m6-pgrr

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (payload 4.0.0-canary.27, 3.88.0), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

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.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-105845

Advisory: Payload: SQL Injection in SQLite and Postgres
IDs: CVE-2026-105845, GHSA-v49j-62m6-pgrr
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-105845 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:06 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Critical (CVSS 9.8)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: payload 4.0.0-canary.27, 3.88.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm payload: affected >= 3.0.0, < 3.88.0; >= 4.0.0-canary.0, < 4.0.0-canary.27; fixed in 3.88.0, 4.0.0-canary.27

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls payload --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on payload.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
