SCA: security update for @payloadcms/graphql, @payloadcms/next, payload (GHSA-26rv-h2hf-3fw4)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435152

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A Session Fixation vulnerability existed in Payload's SQLite adapter due to identifier reuse during
 account creation. A malicious attacker could create a new account, save its JSON Web Token (JWT), and then
 delete the account, which did not invalidate the JWT. As a result, the next newly created user would
 receive the same identifier, allowing the attacker to reuse the JWT to authenticate and perform actions as
 that user. This issue has been fixed in version 3.44.0 of Payload. (CVE-2025-4644)
