Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
Directus versions prior to 11.14.0 contain an open redirect vulnerability in the SAML authentication callback that allows unauthenticated attackers to redirect users to arbitrary external URLs by manipulating the RelayState parameter. The validation checks present during login initiation are not applied to the callback endpoint, enabling phishing and credential theft attacks. A patch is available in version 11.14.0 and later.

2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to version 11.14.0, an open redirect vulnerability exists in the Directus SAML authentication callback endpoint. During SAML authentication, the RelayState parameter is intended to preserve the user's original destination. However, while the login initiation flow validates redirect targets against allowed domains, this validation is not applied to the callback endpoint. This allows an attacker to craft a malicious authentication request that redirects users to an arbitrary external URL upon completion. The vulnerability is present in both the success and error handling paths of the callback. This vulnerability can be exploited without authentication. Version 11.14.0 contains a patch.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Directus should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2026-22032 rated CVSS 4.3. Exploitation could compromise the security of affected deployments. A patch is available and should be applied during regular vulnerability management.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
