Summary

Directus version through 9.24.0 and @directus/api version 9.25.0 and after, allow an authenticated external attacker to modify presets created by the same user to assign them to another user. This is possible because the application only validates the user parameter in the 'POST /presets' request but not in the PATCH request. When chained with CVE-2024-6533, it could result in an account takeover.
