SCA: security update for directus (GHSA-gggm-66rh-pp98)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 415114

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. Starting in version
 10.3.0 and prior to version 10.5.0, the permission filters (i.e. `user_created IS $CURRENT_USER`) are not
 properly checked when using GraphQL subscription resulting in unauthorized users getting event on their
 subscription which they should not be receiving according to the permissions. This can be any collection
 but out-of-the box the `directus_users` collection is configured with such a permissions filter allowing
 you to get updates for other users when changes happen. Version 10.5.0 contains a patch. As a workaround,
 disable GraphQL subscriptions. (CVE-2023-38503)
