Description

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Starting in version 9.12.0 and prior to version 11.5.0, when a Flow with the "Webhook" trigger and the "Data of Last Operation" response body encounters a ValidationError thrown by a failed condition operation, the API response includes sensitive data. This includes environmental variables, sensitive API keys, user accountability information, and operational data. This issue poses a significant security risk, as any unintended exposure of this data could lead to potential misuse. Version 11.5.0 fixes the issue.

Affected products

directus: from 9.12.0 before 11.5.0 — fixed in 11.5.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: directus 11.5.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
