CVE-2025-4643

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.

CVE-2025-4644

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 issue has been fixed in version 3.44.0 of Payload.

CVE-2026-34748

Impact

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

Patches

This vulnerability has been patched in v3.78.0. Output encoding has been added to prevent user-supplied content from being interpreted as markup.

Users should upgrade to v3.78.0 or later.

Workarounds

If consumers cannot upgrade immediately:

  • Restrict create and update access to versioned collections to trusted roles only.

🚀 Features
Feature Details

TypeScript Plugin for Component Paths - New @payloadcms/typescript-plugin validates PayloadComponent import paths directly in your IDE. It checks that referenced files and exports exist, provides autocomplete for file paths and export names, supports go-to-definition on component path strings, and understands all Payload path conventions including absolute paths, relative paths, tsconfig aliases, and package imports. #​15779

  "compilerOptions": {
    "plugins": [{ "name": "next" }, { "name": "@&#8203;payloadcms/typescript-plugin" }]
  }
}

Trash Out of Beta with Granular Delete Access - Trash is now a stable feature. Delete access control can now distinguish between trashing and permanently deleting — allowing you to permit users to soft-delete documents while restricting permanent deletion to admins. When data.deletedAt is being set, the operation is a trash; otherwise it's a permanent delete. #​15210

import type { CollectionConfig } from 'payload'

export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'posts',
  trash: true,
  access: {
    delete: ({ req: { user }, data }) => {
      // Not logged in - no access
      if (!user) {
        return false
      }

      // Admins can do anything (trash or permanently delete)
      if (user.roles?.includes('admin')) {
        return true
      }

      // Regular users: check what operation they're attempting
      // If data.deletedAt is being set, it's a trash operation - allow it
      if (data?.deletedAt) {
        return true
      }

      // Otherwise it's a permanent delete - deny for non-admins
      return false
    },
  },
  fields: [
    // ...
  ],
}

Widget Fields (next, ui) - Dashboard widgets can now declare configurable fields, similar to Blocks. Widget data is editable from a new drawer UI when in dashboard editing mode. Full type generation is included — WidgetInstance<T> is generic with typed data and width, and WidgetServerProps is generic so widget components receive typed widgetData. #​15700

import { buildConfig } from 'payload'

export default buildConfig({
  admin: {
    dashboard: {
      widgets: [
        {
          slug: 'sales-summary',
          ComponentPath: './components/SalesSummary.tsx#default',
          fields: [
            { name: 'title', type: 'text' },
            {
              name: 'timeframe',
              type: 'select',
              options: ['daily', 'weekly', 'monthly', 'yearly'],
            },
            { name: 'showTrend', type: 'checkbox' },
          ],
          minWidth: 'small',
          maxWidth: 'medium',
        },
      ],
    },
  },
})
import type { WidgetServerProps } from 'payload'

import type { SalesSummaryWidget } from '../payload-types'

export default async function SalesSummaryWidgetComponent({
  widgetData,
}: WidgetServerProps<SalesSummaryWidget>) {
  const title = widgetData?.title ?? 'Sales Summary'
  const timeframe = widgetData?.timeframe ?? 'monthly'

  return (
    <div className="card">
      <h3>
        {title} ({timeframe})
      </h3>
    </div>
  )
}

MCP Plugin Out of Beta (plugin-mcp) - @payloadcms/plugin-mcp is now stable and ready for production use. #​15711

Virtual Field Filtering in MCP (plugin-mcp) - Virtual fields (virtual: true) are now automatically stripped from MCP tool input schemas and filtered from parsed data before create, update, and updateGlobal operations. This prevents non-stored fields from appearing as accepted MCP parameters. #​15680

Markdown Transformer for Upload Nodes (richtext-lexical) - Upload nodes are now properly converted when using convertLexicalToMarkdown. Previously, upload nodes were silently dropped during markdown conversion. Now populated image uploads output ![alt text](/uploads/image.jpg), non-image uploads output link syntax, and non-populated uploads output a reference placeholder so data is never lost. #​15630

Dashed Button Style (ui) - Adds a new dashed button style variant. Also replaces box-shadow with border on all buttons and fixes icon-only button padding. #​15728

Button styles overview

Editable Query Presets from Form View (ui) - Query presets can now be created and edited directly from the document form view using a full WhereBuilder, column picker, and groupBy selector — no longer requiring the list view to build queries first. #​15657

🚀 Features
Feature Details

Local API Depth Consistency - The depth option passed to Local API calls like payload.find() is now automatically set on req.query.depth. Previously, hooks relying on req.query.depth would behave differently between Local API and REST/GraphQL calls unless you manually passed req: { query: { depth: x } } in addition to depth: x. This change ensures consistent behavior across all API methods. #​15023

Custom ID Support in db.create (db-*) - New customID argument on payload.db.create allows creating documents with a specific ID without requiring a custom ID field in your collection schema. #​15653

payload.db.create({ collection: 'posts', customID: 'ce98d6c4-c3ab-45de-9dfc-bf33d94cc941', data: { } })

MCP Plugin Migration (plugin-mcp) - Migrates from the deprecated @vercel/mcp-adapter to mcp-handler and bumps @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to 1.25.2 addressing a security vulnerability. Exposes new handler options: disableSse, onEvent, and redisUrl. #​15661

import { mcpPlugin } from '@&#8203;payloadcms/plugin-mcp'

export default buildConfig({
  plugins: [
    mcpPlugin({
      // Optional: Enable SSE transport (disabled by default)
      disableSse: false,
      // Optional: Redis URL for SSE session management (defaults to REDIS_URL env)
      redisUrl: 'redis://localhost:6379',
      // Optional: Track MCP events for analytics/debugging
      onEvent: (event) => {
        console.log('MCP event:', event)
      },
    }),
  ],
})

🚀 Features

Override Access in Document-Level Hooks - Access the overrideAccess value inside collection and global hooks. Useful when hook logic needs to know whether access control was bypassed, such as when querying related documents up a hierarchy. #​15421

export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'posts',
  hooks: {
    beforeChange: [
      ({ overrideAccess, req }) => {
        if (overrideAccess) {
          // Access control was bypassed
        }
      },
    ],
  },
}

Extended strictDraftTypes to All Operations - When strictDraftTypes: true is enabled, TypeScript now enforces draft type safety across all Local API operations (not just queries). The draft option is forbidden for collections/globals without drafts enabled, preventing silent runtime behavior where draft flags are ignored. #​15292

import { buildConfig } from 'payload'

export default buildConfig({
  typescript: {
    strictDraftTypes: true, // Enables compile-time draft enforcement
  },
  // ...
})

⚠️ Note: Generic collection slugs may require explicit type assertions when using draft options.

Custom UnpublishButton Component - Customize the UnpublishButton in collection and global configs, following the same pattern as PublishButton and SaveButton. Previously hardcoded. #​15400

export const Posts: CollectionConfig = {
  slug: 'posts',
  admin: {
    components: {
      edit: {
        UnpublishButton: '/components/CustomUnpublishButton',
      },
    },
  },
}

R2 Multipart Client Uploads (storage-r2) - Upload large files directly from the client using R2's multipart API. Files are split into smaller parts and uploaded separately, avoiding Cloudflare Worker memory limits. #​14733

Popup Prevent Close Attribute (ui) - Add interactive elements inside popups without triggering close behavior by adding the data-popup-prevent-close attribute. #​15407

<Popup>
  <button data-popup-prevent-close onClick={handleClick}>
    Click me without closing
  </button>
</Popup>

Popup Portal className (ui) - Customize the Popup component's portal container with the new portalClassName prop. #​15406

<Popup portalClassName="my-custom-portal-class">
  {/* content */}
</Popup>
