CVE-2024-6533: Directus 10.13.0 - DOM-Based cross-site scripting (XSS) via layout_options

First published: Thu Aug 15 2024(Updated: )

Directus v10.13.0 allows an authenticated external attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript on the client. This is possible because the application injects an attacker-controlled parameter that will be stored in the server and used by the client into an unsanitized DOM element. When chained with CVE-2024-6534, it could result in account takeover.
