What is CVE-2026-25544?

A blind SQL injection vulnerability was identified in Payload CMS prior to version 3.73.0. Attackers exploiting this flaw can manipulate user input in JSON or richText fields, allowing SQL commands to be executed directly on the database without proper escaping. This oversight can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, including user emails and password reset tokens, enabling full account takeovers without the need for password cracking. Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to version 3.73.0 to mitigate this risk.
