medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439828

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 11.17.0,
 Directus stores revision records (in directus_revisions) whenever items are created or updated. Due to the
 revision snapshot code not consistently calling the prepareDelta sanitization pipeline, sensitive fields
 (including user tokens, two-factor authentication secrets, external auth identifiers, auth data, stored
 credentials, and AI provider API keys) could be stored in plaintext within revision records. This
 vulnerability is fixed in 11.17.0. (CVE-2026-39943)

Solution

Update the directus library and its related packages to version 11.17.0 or later.
