Payload: Insufficient Access Control in Stripe REST Proxy

Published October 6, 2026Updated October 6, 2026Source: osv

Summary

## Impact An authenticated user could perform unintended Stripe operations through the optional Stripe REST proxy. **You are affected if ALL of these are true:** - Your application uses `@payloadcms/plugin-stripe`. - The optional Stripe REST proxy is enabled. - An authenticated user can reach the proxy. Deployments that do not enable the Stripe REST proxy are not affected. ## Patches Users should upgrade Payload packages to `>= 3.90.0` or `>= 4.0.0-canary.34`. ## Workarounds Upgrading to a patched version is recommended. If you cannot upgrade immediately, disable the Stripe REST proxy. If it must remain enabled, restrict access to trusted users and only the required Stripe operations.
