CVE-2026-61835: Monospace Directus

High severity, CVSS 7.7. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Monospace Directus: before 12.0.0 (fixed in 12.0.0)
