What is CVE-2025-30352?
CVE-2025-30352 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Monospace Directus, published on 26 Mar 2025. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Starting in version 9.0.0-alpha.4 and prior to version 11.5.0, the `search` query parameter allows users with access to a collection to filter items based on fields they do not have permission to view. This allows the enumeration of unknown field contents. The searchable columns (numbers & strings) are not checked against permissions when injecting the `where` clauses for applying the search query. This leads to the possibility of enumerating those un-permitted fields. Version 11.5.0 fixes the issue.
Weakness: CWE-200
