Affected packages

• npm payload: >= 3.0.0, < 3.90.0 → fixed in 3.90.0 • npm payload: >= 4.0.0-canary.0, < 4.0.0-canary.34 → fixed in 4.0.0-canary.34

Description

Impact Token refresh and password reset responses could return fields that the requesting user did not have access to. You are affected if: • An authentication collection contains hidden or read-restricted fields. Patches Authentication responses now apply field access and hidden-field filtering before returning user documents. Full user documents remain available server-side for access control. Users should upgrade Payload packages to `>= 3.90.0` or `>= 4.0.0-canary.34`. Custom authentication strategies remain responsible for filtering user documents returned through custom responses. Workarounds There is no complete workaround. Users should upgrade Payload packages to `>= 3.90.0` or `>= 4.0.0-canary.34`.
