Payload: Polymorphic join queries could disclose hidden fields

  • Disclosed: 06.10.2026
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Impact

A user with query access could use polymorphic join filters to infer hidden or read-restricted field values, including password-reset tokens.

You are affected if:

  • You use an affected Payload version.
  • Users can query a collection with a polymorphic join to sensitive fields.

Patches

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

Workarounds

There is no complete workaround. Restricting read access to sensitive collections reduces exposure but does not replace upgrading.
