- Payload version < v3.79.1
- At least one collection with
uploadenabled - An authenticated user has
createorupdateaccess to that collection
Patches
This vulnerability has been patched in v3.79.1. Users should upgrade to v3.79.1 or later.
Workarounds

- Restrict
createandupdateaccess to upload-enabled collections to trusted roles only. - Limit outbound network access from your Payload server where possible.
