    "summary": "### Impact Under certain conditions, sorting readable records could reveal limited information about fields the requester was not permitted to read. You are affected if untrusted users can query a collection, control its sorting, and sort by protected fields. ### Patches Payload now applies field-level access checks to sort fields before executing queries. Users should upgrade to `>= 3.88.0` or `>= 4.0.0-canary.27`. ### Workarounds Upgrading is recommended. Until then, prevent untrusted users from controlling sort parameters or restrict their access to affected collections.",
