Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable injection via query filters with low complexity and no auth when collections are publicly readable (PR:N); full data read gives C:H, while write/DoS via the ORM query path is partial (I:L/A:L).

Payload is a free and open source headless content management system. In versions from 3.0.0 before 3.88.0 and canary versions before 4.0.0-canary.27, an untrusted user who can query readable collections through dynamic filters or joins can submit a request that causes SQL injection in the SQLite and Postgres adapters. This issue is fixed in versions 3.88.0 and 4.0.0-canary.27.

AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Payload CMS 3.0.0 through before 3.88.0 (and 4.0.0-canary builds before 4.0.0-canary.27) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL when the instance runs the SQLite (@payloadcms/db-sqlite) or Postgres (@payloadcms/db-postgres) adapter and untrusted users can query readable collections while supplying dynamic filters or join parameters. MongoDB-backed deployments are explicitly not affected, and the practical blast radius is bounded by which collections are readable to the attacker - if access control blocks those queries or dynamic filter/join input is not accepted, exploitation is blocked (the vendor-documented workaround). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the Payload instance uses the SQLite (@payloadcms/db-sqlite) or Postgres (@payloadcms/db-postgres) database adapter - MongoDB deployments are explicitly NOT affected - and that untrusted users can query readable collections while supplying dynamic query filters (where conditions) or join parameters. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority issue, not a CVSS-inflated one. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade the payload package to 3.88.0 or later on the 3.x line, or to 4.0.0-canary.27 or later on the canary line - vendor-released patches for CVE-2026-105845 - and redeploy so the patched query-path/sort validation is active (npm fixed versions: payload 3.88.0 and 4.0.0-canary.27; commit https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/commit/a742140ab4fca3160f7f83e9e7d996552ffc3b5a, advisory https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/security/advisories/GHSA-v49j-62m6-pgrr). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory every Payload CMS deployment and record its version and database adapter, since only SQLite (@payloadcms/db-sqlite) and Postgres (@payloadcms/db-postgres) instances in the 3.0.0-to-before-3.88.0 range or 4.0.0-canary builds before 4.0.0-canary.27 are exposed, and MongoDB-backed deployments require no emergency action; for affected instances, immediately apply the vendor-documented workaround by tightening collection read access control so untrusted users cannot query readable collections and by rejecting dynamic filter or join parameters supplied by untrusted input, and enable query logging and alerting for anomalous SQL-like parameters. …
