Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

CVE-2024-28238

Low
2.3/10

Summary

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. When reaching the "/files" page, a JWT is passed via GET request. Inclusion of session tokens in URLs poses a security risk as URLs are often logged in various places (e.g., web server logs, browser history). Attackers gaining access to these logs may hijack active user sessions, leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information or actions on behalf of the user. This issue affects directus versions prior to 10.10.0.
