  "title": "Authorization flaw exposes API keys in Payload",
  "summary": "Payload versions 3.0.0 through versions before 3.90.0, and canary releases before 4.0.0-canary.34, are affected when an authentication collection has API-key support enabled. A user able to read another user's authentication document may obtain that user's active API key and use the associated account permissions until the key is revoked or rotated.",
  "mitigation": "Upgrade the npm `payload` package to 3.90.0 or later, or to 4.0.0-canary.34 or later on the canary line. Until upgraded, disable API-key support or limit users to their own authentication documents, and rotate keys that may have been exposed.",
