SCA: security update for directus (GHSA-wxwm-3fxv-mrvx)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439839

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, when
 GRAPHQL_INTROSPECTION=false is configured, Directus correctly blocks standard GraphQL introspection
 queries (__schema, __type). However, the server_specs_graphql resolver on the /graphql/system endpoint
 returns an equivalent SDL representation of the schema and was not subject to the same restriction. This
 allowed the introspection control to be bypassed, exposing schema structure (collection names, field
 names, types, and relationships) to unauthenticated users at the public permission level, and to
 authenticated users at their permitted permission level. This vulnerability is fixed in 11.16.1.
 (CVE-2026-35413)

Solution

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