SCA: security update for payload (GHSA-vc4h-q48j-5hcx)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 473464

Description

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

 - Payload is a free and open source headless content management system. In versions from 3.0.0 before 3.90.0
 and canary versions before 4.0.0-canary.34, the duplicate operation copies values from a source document
 even when a field is hidden or its access.read or access.create rule rejects that value for the caller.
 The disableDuplicate setting does not prevent this access-control bypass. This issue is fixed in versions
 3.90.0 and 4.0.0-canary.34. (CVE-2026-105851)

Solution

Update the payload library and its related packages to version 3.90.0 or later.
