Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2020-19850 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- directus (npm): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.1\n- directus (npm): affected from 2.2.0; fixed in 2.2.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-19850/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-19850/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-19850","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-19850/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-19850","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3gvp-54v2-2jrp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Directus API","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in Directus API by sending a large volume of HTTP requests.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"directus","vendor":"monospace"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"An issue found in Directus API v.2.2.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a great amount of HTTP requests.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Directus API vulnerable to denial of service","id":"CVE-2020-19850","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":"monospace:directus","products":["monospace:directus"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2020"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-19853"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2.2.1"],"introduced":["2.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"directus","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-3gvp-54v2-2jrp"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["2.2.1"],"introduced":["2.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"directus","purl":"pkg:npm/directus","source":"GHSA-3gvp-54v2-2jrp"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting in kimai/kimai","id":"CVE-2020-19825"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-04-04","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Insecure default value for CORS configuration","id":"CVE-2022-26969","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-26"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Directus allows unauthenticated file upload and file modification due to lacking input sanitization","id":"CVE-2025-55746","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-20"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Directus is Missing Cross-Origin Opener Policy","id":"CVE-2026-35408","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-06"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Directus: Authorization-dependent response served from unsegmented cache key","id":"CVE-2026-61836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-15"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Directus's webhook trigger flows can leak sensitive data","id":"CVE-2025-30353","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-26"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Directus has a Path Traversal and Broken Access Control in File Management API","id":"CVE-2026-39942","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-09"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Directus MySQL accent insensitive email matching","id":"CVE-2024-27295","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-01"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-14","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A remote attacker can cause a denial of service in Directus API by sending a large volume of HTTP requests.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-19850/"}
