Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the reorder endpoint in packages/payload/src/config/orderable/index.ts, where access control checks on update operations are insufficient. An unauthenticated or unauthorized attacker can send reorder requests to manipulate the ordering of collection documents without holding the required update permissions, because the endpoint previously only checked access for the first document being moved and did not enforce per-document where-based access constraints across all affected records. The fix introduces assertUpdateAccess, which validates update access for every document involved in a reorder operation and enforces where-clause access results before committing changes.
