How severe is CVE-2026-105805?

No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2026-105805 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2026-105805?

CVE-2026-105805 affects the following packages: payload (npm), payload (npm). Ecosystems affected: npm.

How do I fix CVE-2026-105805?

Update payload to 3.88.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-105805 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2026-105805 in my npm dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for payload, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2026-105805 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Put an independent control in front of the weakness: restrict the affected endpoint or interface to trusted networks, require an additional authentication factor or proxy-level check, and invalidate existing sessions and credentials in case the flaw has already been used.

Is CVE-2026-105805 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2026-105805 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2026-105805?

CVE-2026-105805 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.3%, placing it in the 19th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2026-105805?

CVE-2026-105805 is classified as Information Exposure (CWE-200), CWE-863 (CWE-863). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2026-105805 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2026-105805 was published on October 6, 2026 and was last updated on October 21, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Impact

Under certain conditions, sorting readable records could reveal limited information about fields the requester was not permitted to read.

You are affected if untrusted users can query a collection, control its sorting, and sort by protected fields.

Patches

Payload now applies field-level access checks to sort fields before executing queries.

Users should upgrade to >= 3.88.0 or >= 4.0.0-canary.27.

Workarounds

Upgrading is recommended. Until then, prevent untrusted users from controlling sort parameters or restrict their access to affected collections.
