CVE-2024-6533Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored JavaScript execution via unsanitized layout options

Published Aug 15, 2024 · Updated May 19, 2025

Stored DOM XSS in Directus before 11.3.3 allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript when a user opens a crafted preset. The Studio renders attacker-controlled layout_options title content from a saved preset as an unsanitized iframe whose source loads attacker-hosted script. A non-administrative account must upload the script and create or alter a preset; another user must open the affected collection view for client-side execution.
