Questions

About payload

Is payload safe to use?

Vulert records 29 vulnerabilities for payload in npm: 5 critical, 13 high, 11 medium and 0 low. 1 of them has no published fix yet, so that is the one to avoid or mitigate.

What is payload's Vulert package health score?

Vulert scores payload 60/100, which reads as usable, but worth attention. The score weighs the vulnerability record (40), maintenance and release cadence (25), adoption from dependents and stars (20) and community signals such as the OpenSSF scorecard and forks (15). The current release has a vulnerability with no published fix, which caps this score.

Is the latest version of payload affected?

Yes. 3.92.0, the version you would install today, has 1 known vulnerability, and 1 has no published fix yet. Use an earlier unaffected release, or the workaround each vulnerability lists.

How many vulnerabilities does payload have?

29 vulnerabilities are recorded for payload in the npm ecosystem: 5 critical, 13 high, 11 medium and 0 low. The ledger on this page lists the same counts next to the date of the most recent disclosure.

How often are new payload vulnerabilities disclosed?

25 vulnerabilities were recorded for payload in the last 12 months, and the oldest entry in this database dates to 13 Apr 2022. Recency matters more than a lifetime total: it shows how actively new issues are being disclosed for the package you are considering.

Which versions of payload are affected?

Each vulnerability on this page lists the affected version range and the fixed version to move to. Open the vulnerability for the version you actually run — fixes are specific to a release line, not to the package as a whole.

How do I monitor payload for upcoming vulnerabilities?

Upload the manifest or SBOM for your application at vulert.com/scanner and Vulert keeps checking the payload version you actually run against new disclosures, then alerts you when one affects it. There is no installation and no source-code access required.
