directus is a Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) due to improper check when importing file from the URL and the result URL. An attacker can execute unauthorized requests to internal network resources by manipulating URL redirects during the file import operation.

Upgrade directus to version 10.9.3 or higher.

directus is a Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Exhaustion through the /graphql endpoint. An attacker can cause the server to perform redundant computations and consume excessive resources.

Upgrade directus to version 10.12.0 or higher.

directus is a Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions through the random string generation utility. An attacker can disrupt the service by providing a non-numeric length value, which leads to a memory issue that prevents the generation of random strings, affecting session refresh capabilities.

Upgrade directus to version 10.11.2 or higher.

directus is a Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure through the alias functionality. An attacker can access sensitive data by manipulating the API request parameters.

Notes:

This is only exploitable if the user has permissions to view any collection using redacted hashed fields.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set up a simple role with read-access to users.

2. Create a new user with the role from the previous step

3. Assign a password to the user

To confirm this vulnerability, visit /users/me. You should be presented with a redacted JSON-object. Next, visit /users/me?alias[hash]=password. This time, the returned JSON object will included the raw password hash instead of the redacted value.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Always-Incorrect Control Flow Implementation due to the password reset mechanism implementation combined with default database configurations in MySQL and MariaDB. This allows attackers in possession of a known good email address to redirect a password reset email intended for a victim by registering a similar email address with alternative characters that are considered equivalent to the same ones as characters in the stored email address, by the database engine. The API uses the supplied email address for sending the reset password mail instead of the email address from the database.
