SB2026080775 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Directus

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-61835)

CWE-ID: CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N]

The vulnerability allows a remote user to disclose sensitive information from internal services.

The vulnerability exists due to server-side request forgery in the file-import-from-URL feature when handling URL imports to the /files/import endpoint. A remote user can supply a URL using the 0.0.0.0 address to disclose sensitive information from internal services.

On Linux and macOS, requests to 0.0.0.0 reach localhost, and the response body is stored as a downloadable file.

2) Use of cache containing sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-61836)

CWE-ID: CWE-524 - Use of Cache Containing Sensitive Information

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to use of cache containing sensitive information in api/src/utils/get-cache-key.ts when serving cached responses for requests that differ in authorization context but produce the same cache key. A remote attacker can send a request to a URL previously cached for a different share or anonymous context to disclose sensitive information.

Exploitation requires response caching to be enabled and at least one active share to exist. Anonymous requests and share-token requests can both resolve to user: null, causing authorization-dependent responses to be reused without permission re-evaluation.

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
