Restricted-field disclosure via attacker-selected share role
Published Jan 23, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025
Improper privilege management in Directus before 11.2.0 allows remote authenticated users to read restricted fields through shared items. The share creation flow accepts an arbitrary role from a non-administrator and uses that role to compute fields visible through the share. Exploitation requires the Share feature, permission to create shares, and roles with different field visibility; the consequence is unauthorized read access only.
