Advisories for Npm/@Payloadcms/Next package

Under certain conditions, an attacker can craft a redirect link that sends a guest user to an untrusted destination after authenticating.

A stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability existed in the admin panel. An authenticated user with write access to a collection could save content that, when viewed by another user, would execute in their browser. Consumers are affected if ALL of these are true: Payload version < v3.78.0 At least one collection with versions enabled An authenticated user has create or update access to that collection

A Session Fixation vulnerability existed in Payload's SQLite adapter due to identifier reuse during account creation. A malicious attacker could create a new account, save its JSON Web Token (JWT), and then delete the account, which did not invalidate the JWT. As a result, the next newly created user would receive the same identifier, allowing the attacker to reuse the JWT to authenticate and perform actions as that user. This …

Payload uses JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication. After log out JWT is not invalidated, which allows an attacker who has stolen or intercepted token to freely reuse it until expiration date (which is by default set to 2 hours, but can be changed). This issue has been fixed in version 3.44.0 of Payload.
