Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-9qrm-48qf-r2rw. This link is maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description 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.
