high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439841

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, the
 PATCH /files/{id} endpoint accepts a user-controlled filename_disk parameter. By setting this value to
 match the storage path of another user's file, an attacker can overwrite that file's content while
 manipulating metadata fields such as uploaded_by to obscure the tampering. This vulnerability is fixed in
 11.17.0. (CVE-2026-39942)

Solution

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