Disclosure summary
### 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.
