CVE-2026-61835 Details
Description
Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to 12.0.0, the SSRF protection on Directus's file-import-from-URL feature can be bypassed using the address 0.0.0.0 because api/src/request/is-denied-ip.ts treats 0.0.0.0 as a keyword for local interfaces but never blocks the literal address itself. On Linux and macOS, connecting to 0.0.0.0 reaches localhost, so an authenticated user with file-upload rights can make the server fetch internal services through the /files/import endpoint and retrieve the response as a downloadable file. This issue is fixed in version 12.0.0.
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability has been identified in Directus versions prior to 12.0.0. The issue arises in the file-import-from-URL feature, where the SSRF protection can be bypassed using the address 0.0.0.0. The application's IP denial list treats 0.0.0.0 as a keyword for local interfaces but fails to block the literal address. This oversight allows authenticated users with file-upload permissions to exploit the vulnerability by having the server fetch internal services through the /files/import endpoint, with the response returned as a downloadable file.
Users can upgrade to Directus version 12.0.0 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
