- Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. The authentication API

request to `directus/auth/login/google?redirect=http://malicious-fishing-site.com`. While credentials
don't seem to be passed to the attacker site, the user can be phished into clicking a legitimate directus
site and be taken to a malicious site made to look like a an error message "Your password needs to be
updated" to phish out the current password. Users who login via OAuth2 into Directus may be at risk. This
