DescriptionGitHub Advisory

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Before 11.14.1, a timing-based user enumeration vulnerability exists in the password reset functionality. When an invalid reset_url parameter is provided, the response time differs by approximately 500ms between existing and non-existing users, enabling reliable user enumeration. This vulnerability is fixed in 11.14.1.

AnalysisAI

Directus versions before 11.14.1 contain a timing-based side-channel vulnerability in the password reset function that allows unauthenticated attackers to enumerate valid user accounts by measuring response time differences when submitting invalid reset URLs. The approximately 500ms variance between responses for existing versus non-existing users enables reliable, remote user discovery without authentication. A patch is available in version 11.14.1 and later.
