CVE-2022-36031

Severity Medium
Score 6.5/10

Summary

Directus is a free and open-source data platform for headless content management.

This vulnerability has been patched and release v9.15.0 contains the fix. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may prevent this problem by making sure no (untrusted) non-admin users have permissions to update the `filename_disk` field on `directus_files`.
