CVE-2026-105863
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-66wr-7vmr-p5jq ↗EUVD-2026-93509 ↗
description
Affected Payload deployments can include unintended custom-field values in authentication tokens issued during login. An attacker may obtain a token with improperly populated claims when the deployment maps a custom field to a reserved authentication claim name; this requires both that configuration and an affected release.
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. Review custom field mappings and remove mappings to reserved authentication claim names.
fixed in 3.90.0, 4.0.0-canary.34
outcome
Contextual check: a technique exists and was validated, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
