Summary
Workarounds
Until developers can upgrade:
- Limit access to endpoints that accept dynamic query inputs to trusted users only.
- Validate or sanitize input from untrusted clients before sending it to query endpoints.
Impact
Certain request inputs were not properly validated. An attacker could craft requests that influence SQL query execution, potentially exposing or modifying data in collections.
Untrusted input alters a database query, allowing the attacker to read or modify data the query was not intended to access. Typical impact: data disclosure or modification.
CVE-2026-34747 has a CVSS score of 8.5 (High). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (3.79.1); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

Kodem intelligence
Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.
Remediation advice
This issue has been fixed in v3.79.1 and later. Query input validation has been hardened.
Upgrade to v3.79.1 or later.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2026-34747? CVE-2026-34747 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in payload (npm), affecting versions < 3.79.1. It is fixed in 3.79.1. Untrusted input alters a database query, allowing the attacker to read or modify data the query was not intended to access.
- How severe is CVE-2026-34747? CVE-2026-34747 has a CVSS score of 8.5 (High). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Which versions of payload are affected by CVE-2026-34747? payload (npm) versions < 3.79.1 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2026-34747? Yes. CVE-2026-34747 is fixed in 3.79.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2026-34747 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2026-34747 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2026-34747 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
