Payload: Password hashes use insufficient PBKDF2 iterations

view advisory published 2026-10-06Licence: CC-BY-4.0

### Impact The password-hashing configuration used a lower work factor than what is recommended. ### Patches Payload now uses stronger password-hashing parameters and transparently upgrades older hashes following a successful login. Users should upgrade Payload packages to `>= 3.90.0` or `>= 4.0.0-canary.34`. ### Workarounds Upgrading is recommended. Until you can upgrade, protect database copies and backups from unauthorized access and require strong, unique passwords.
