The three Vercel templates pin the Payload 3.x family at 3.82.1, which is inside the vulnerable range of GHSA-mc8m-rr6c-r5qr (CVE-2026-93363), an access-control bypass of uploads in @payloadcms/storage-vercel-blob affecting >=3.25.0, <3.90.0 and fixed in 3.90.0.

Every project scaffolded from these templates today starts vulnerable. This changes only the version pins; no template code changes.

Relation to the open template PRs

#19335 (v4.0.0-beta.7), #19200 (beta.6) and #18991 (beta.4) touch these same three files and are all still open, so this will conflict with whichever lands first. If one of them merges, main is fixed and this can be closed — the beta line is above 3.90.0, so it covers the advisory either way.

Filing it because main's Deploy buttons are still served from 3.82.1 today.

Why main rather than 3.x

Branch 3.x already carries these templates at 3.93.0 (#19334). .github/workflows/post-release-templates.yml routes v3.* releases to 3.x only, so main last received a template bump in April and the Vercel Deploy templates have been on 3.82.1 since.

Verification

Three package.json files, 25 pins, no template code and no lockfile (the templates are not workspace members). pnpm@10.33.0 install --lockfile-only resolves the family at 3.90.2 in all three; npm strict-peers resolves mongodb and postgres. with-vercel-website has a pre-existing @payloadcms/transformer-sharp@4.0.0-beta.4 peer conflict at 3.82.1 as well, unchanged here and harmless under pnpm.

build-template-with-vercel-postgres currently fails on main with ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS: Ignored build scripts: bufferutil@4.1.0; reproduced on the unpatched base, so it is not from this change.

The three Vercel templates pin the Payload 3.x family at 3.82.1, which is
inside the vulnerable range of GHSA-mc8m-rr6c-r5qr (CVE-2026-93363), an
access-control bypass of uploads in @payloadcms/storage-vercel-blob
affecting >=3.25.0, <3.90.0 and fixed in 3.90.0.

Walkthrough

The MongoDB, Postgres, and website templates update Payload dependencies from version 3.82.1 to 3.90.2. The website template keeps @payloadcms/transformer-sharp at version 4.0.0-beta.4.

Changes: Vercel template dependency updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update Payload dependency versions
templates/with-vercel-mongodb/package.json, templates/with-vercel-postgres/package.json, templates/with-vercel-website/package.json
The three templates update their Payload packages and payload dependency to version 3.90.2. The website template keeps @payloadcms/transformer-sharp unchanged.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to b83b7

The security bump to Payload 3.90.2 is appropriate, but the two Postgres-based templates ship no migration for the new auth column. Deployments that run ci and migrate production can fail on user queries or password resets. Add the migration to each template before merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title states that the Vercel templates are being bumped off Payload 3.82.1 because it is vulnerable. The changeset does exactly this: it raises the Payload 3.x pins in the three Vercel template package.json files from 3.82.1 to 3.90.2, with no template code changes. The title is specific and matches the main change. Its 'fix(templates)' prefix follows the conventional commits format the repository asks for.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the problem and the change. It says the three Vercel templates pin Payload 3.x at 3.82.1, which falls in the vulnerable range of GHSA-mc8m-rr6c-r5qr (CVE-2026-93363), and that the fix is 3.90.0. It states that only version pins change and that no template code changes. It also gives verification steps, the related open template PRs, and the reason the fix targets main rather than 3.x. This is directly related to the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No eligible functions found in the changed files. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 0 functions across 0 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Add the Payload 3.90 auth migration.

Payload 3.90 adds resetPasswordRequestedAt to the default auth schema. The committed migrations in this template and templates/with-vercel-website do not add its column. Their ci scripts run those migrations, so production user queries and password resets can fail against the old schema. Add a migration to each template before deploying this version. (github.com)
