Description

Impact

An attacker who has read plus create or update access to a collection can submit a request that includes a SQL injection targeting a specific field path shape and operators in Payload's SQLite and Postgres.

You are affected if:

  • You use @payloadcms/db-sqlite or @payloadcms/db-d1-sqlite.
  • You use @payloadcms/db-postgres or @payloadcms/db-vercel-postgres < 3.73.0.
  • A readable collection has a json field, or a blocks field with blocksAsJSON: true.
  • The attacker has read plus create or update access on it.

You are not affected if:

  • You have no json or blocksAsJSONfields.richText` is not affected.
  • You run a patched version.

Patches

The patched version sanitizes the query input to prevent injection.

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

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

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

  2. Fix

    Update @payloadcms/db-sqlite to 3.90.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-pj7x-6wpf-pgvp is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.
