Summary
Payload: SQL injection in SQLite/Postgres
Details

Impact

An attacker who has read plus create or update access to a collection can submit a request that includes a SQL injection targeting a specific field path shape and operators in Payload's SQLite and Postgres.

You are affected if:

  • You use @payloadcms/db-sqlite or @payloadcms/db-d1-sqlite.
  • You use @payloadcms/db-postgres or @payloadcms/db-vercel-postgres < 3.73.0.
  • A readable collection has a json field, or ablocks field with blocksAsJSON: true.
  • The attacker has read plus create or update access on it.

You are not affected if:

  • You have no json orblocksAsJSONfields.richText` is not affected.
  • You run a patched version.

Patches

The patched version sanitizes the query input to prevent injection.

Users should upgrade Payload packages to >= 3.90.0 or >= 4.0.0-canary.34.
