Directus 8 before 8.8.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code because file-upload permissions include the ability to upload a .php file to the main upload directory and/or upload a .php file and a .htaccess file to a subdirectory. Exploitation succeeds only for certain installations with the Apache HTTP Server and the local-storage driver (e.g., when the product was obtained from hub.docker.com).

UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED In Directus 8.x through 8.8.1, an attacker can switch to the administrator role (via the PATCH method) without any control by the back end. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED In Directus 8.x through 8.8.1, an attacker can see all users in the CMS using the API /users/{id}. For each call, they get in response a lot of information about the user (such as email address, first name, and last name) but also the secret for 2FA if one exists. This secret can be regenerated. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED In Directus 8.x through 8.8.1, an attacker can discover whether a user is present in the database through the password reset feature. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED In Directus 8.x through 8.8.1, an attacker can learn sensitive information such as the version of the CMS, the PHP version used by the site, and the name of the DBMS, simply by view the result of the api-aa, called automatically upon a connection. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
