CVE-2026-25544 EXPLOIT
9.8
CRITICAL · CVSS 3.1 · EPSS 0.9% (pctl 57)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
Payload is a free and open source headless content management system. Prior to 3.73.0, when querying JSON or richText fields, user input was directly embedded into SQL without escaping, enabling blind SQL injection attacks. An unauthenticated attacker could extract sensitive data (emails, password reset tokens) and achieve full account takeover without password cracking. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.73.0.
