SCA: security update for directus (GHSA-qqmv-5p3g-px89)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439832

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 11.16.1,
 Directus' TUS resumable upload endpoint (/files/tus) allows any authenticated user with basic file upload
 permissions to overwrite arbitrary existing files by UUID. The TUS controller performs only collection-
 level authorization checks, verifying the user has some permission on directus_files, but never validates
 item-level access to the specific file being replaced. As a result, row-level permission rules (e.g.,
 "users can only update their own files") are completely bypassed via the TUS path while being correctly
 enforced on the standard REST upload path. This vulnerability is fixed in 11.16.1. (CVE-2026-35412)

Solution

Update the directus library and its related packages to version 11.16.1 or later.
