CVE-2022-36031: Monospace Directus

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Directus is a free and open-source data platform for headless content management. The Directus process can be aborted by having an authorized user update the `filename_disk` value to a folder and accessing that file through the `/assets` endpoint. 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`.

Affected products

• Monospace Directus: before 9.15.0 (fixed in 9.15.0)
