Payload: Sort queries could expose protected field information
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
Under certain conditions, sorting readable records could reveal limited information about fields the requester was not permitted to read.
You are affected if untrusted users can query a collection, control its sorting, and sort by protected fields.
### Patches
Payload now applies field-level access checks to sort fields before executing queries.
Users should upgrade to `>= 3.88.0` or `>= 4.0.0-canary.27`.
### Workarounds
Upgrading is recommended. Until then, prevent untrusted users from controlling sort parameters or restrict their access to affected collections.
