CVE-2026-105864: Payload multi-tenant plugin access control bypass

CVE-2026-105864 · Severity: medium · CVSS 4 · Published 2026-10-06

Technical details

An authentication/authorization flaw in the @payloadcms/plugin-multi-tenant allows authenticated users to bypass tenant isolation when creating records, if at least one tenant-enabled collection exists. The vulnerability affects the default tenant assignment logic (in tenantField/index.ts) and was fixed by correcting the totalDocs count calculation. The issue requires authentication and affects cross-tenant write operations only.

Affected products

Payload multi-tenant plugin before 3.90.0 and canary versions before 4.0.0-canary.34
