An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-61836 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- directus (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.0\n- directus (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 12.0.0\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-2026-61836/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-61836/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-61836","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-61836/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-61836","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c6w9-5g5j-jh2p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Directus API dashboard","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can access permission-filtered cached data intended for other users due to incomplete cache key derivation when response caching is enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"directus","vendor":"monospace"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"},{"id":"CWE-524","name":"Use of Cache Containing Sensitive Information"}],"description":"Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content.
