Description

Impact

An authenticated Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability existed in the upload functionality.

Authenticated users with create or update access to an upload-enabled collection could cause the server to make outbound HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs.

Consumers are affected if ALL of these are true:

  • Payload version < v3.79.1
  • At least one collection with upload enabled
  • An authenticated user has create or update access to that collection

Patches

This vulnerability has been patched in v3.79.1. Users should upgrade to v3.79.1 or later.

Workarounds

Until consumers can upgrade:

  • Restrict create and update access to upload-enabled collections to trusted roles only.
  • Limit outbound network access from your Payload server where possible.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    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.

  2. Fix

    Update payload to 3.79.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-6r7f-q7f5-wpx8 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Restrict outbound requests from the affected component to an allowlist of hosts, block access to link-local and internal address ranges at the network layer, and require authentication on internal services so a forged request cannot reach them unauthenticated.
