CVE-2026-105865: Payload: Incomplete validation during the upload file lifecycle

Under certain conditions, an authenticated user with permission to modify uploads could cause unintended files to be removed during file cleanup. This may result in data loss or service disruption.

You are affected if:

• You use Payload upload collections with local file storage.
• Untrusted authenticated users can update or delete uploads.

Deployments that restrict upload management to trusted users are less exposed.
