EPSS · scored 2026-10-27

Payload is a free and open source headless content management system. Payload versions from 3.0.0 before 3.90.0 and canary versions from 4.0.0-canary.0 before 4.0.0-canary.34 use a lower-than-recommended PBKDF2 work factor for password hashing, reducing the computational effort required to test recovered password hashes. This issue is fixed in versions 3.90.0 and 4.0.0-canary.34.

  • GHSA-q6mq-ch85-c8mmPayload: Password hashes use insufficient PBKDF2 iterations2026-10-06ghsa · osvUS

    ### 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.
