SCA: security update for directus (GHSA-9x5g-62gj-wqf2)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 436064

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. Prior to version 11.13.0,
 Directus does not properly clean up field-level permissions when a field is deleted. When a field is
 removed from a collection, its reference in the permissions table remains intact. This stale reference
 creates a security gap: if another field is later created using the same name, it inherits the outdated
 permission entry. This behavior can unintentionally grant roles access to data they should not be able to
 read or modify. The issue is particularly risky in multi-tenant or production environments, where
 administrators may reuse field names, assuming old permissions have been fully cleared. Version 11.13.0
 fixes the issue. (CVE-2025-64746)
