An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-53887 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- directus (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 11.9.0\n- directus (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 11.9.0\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-2025-53887/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53887/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53887","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53887/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53887","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rmjh-cf9q-pv7q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Directus API dashboard","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve the exact Directus version via the OpenAPI spec endpoint, facilitating targeted vulnerability research.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"directus","vendor":"monospace"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content.
