Description
Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to version 11.13.0, Directus does not properly clean up field-level permissions when a field is deleted. When a field is removed from a collection, its reference in the permissions table remains intact. This stale reference creates a security gap: if another field is later created using the same name, it inherits the outdated permission entry. This behavior can unintentionally grant roles access to data they should not be able to read or modify. The issue is particularly risky in multi-tenant or production environments, where administrators may reuse field names, assuming old permissions have been fully cleared. Version 11.13.0 fixes the issue.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs in Directus versions prior to 11.13.0, where when a field is deleted from a collection, its permissions are not properly removed. The permissions table retains references to the deleted field. If a new field is later created with the same name, it inherits the old permissions, potentially granting roles access to data they should not have. This creates a security gap, especially in environments where field names are reused.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access or modification of data because roles may inherit outdated permissions for newly created fields with reused names. This can expose sensitive information or allow unintended data changes, posing a security risk particularly in multi-tenant or production environments.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Directus to version 11.13.0 or later, as this version fixes the issue by properly cleaning up field-level permissions when fields are deleted.
