@jhb.software/payload-cloudinary-plugin: Unrestricted signature generation via paramsToSign

The plugin's signing endpoint at POST /api/cloudinary-generate-signature passes attacker-supplied paramsToSign directly to cloudinary.

20 Jun 2026Read 1 minSeverity: act now

What changed

The plugin's signing endpoint at POST /api/cloudinary-generate-signature passes attacker-supplied paramsToSign directly to cloudinary.utils.api_sign_request() without any allowlist or validation, allowing any authenticated user to obtain valid Cloudinary signatures for arbitrary upload parameters.

Who it affects

All deployments with clientUploads: true enabled.

What to do today

Disable clientUploads: true or apply the recommended fix that restricts allowed keys to timestamp, folder, and public_id, validates folder against the configured folder option, and rejects path traversal sequences.
