medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 428408

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Starting in version 9.0.0
and prior to version 11.9.0, the exact Directus version number is incorrectly being used as OpenAPI Spec
version this means that it is being exposed by the `/server/specs/oas` endpoint without authentication.
With the exact version information a malicious attacker can look for known vulnerabilities in Directus
core or any of its shipped dependencies in that specific running version. Version 11.9.0 fixes the issue.
