CVE-2024-28238

Summary

CVE-2024-28238 is a vulnerability affecting Directus, a real-time API and App dashboard for SQL database management. The issue stems from the inclusion of session tokens in URLs when accessing the /files page. When a JWT is passed via a GET request, this practice increases the risk of session hijacking. Attackers who gain access to URL logs, such as web server logs or browser history, can use this information to assume active user sessions. The consequences of this unauthorized access can include sensitive information disclosure or unauthorized actions on behalf of the user. To mitigate this risk, users are advised to upgrade to Directus version 10.10.0. At present, there are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
