Summary

Payload, a headless content management system, is affected from 3.0.0 before 3.90.0 and from 4.0.0-canary.0 before 4.0.0-canary.34. Polymorphic join filters let a user with low privileges who can query a collection infer hidden or read-restricted values, including password-reset tokens. The attacker needs network access and a low-privilege account. The weakness is classified as CWE-639.

Written with Claude Haiku 5.5 from the sources below · 2026-10-29

Description from the CNA

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.
