Description
Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in versions prior to 11.13.0 that allows users with `upload files` and `edit item` permissions to inject malicious JavaScript through the Block Editor interface. Attackers can bypass Content Security Policy (CSP) restrictions by combining file uploads with iframe srcdoc attributes, resulting in persistent XSS execution. Version 11.13.0 fixes the issue.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in Directus versions prior to 11.13.0. It allows users who have 'upload files' and 'edit item' permissions to inject malicious JavaScript code through the Block Editor interface. Attackers can bypass Content Security Policy (CSP) restrictions by using a combination of file uploads and iframe srcdoc attributes, leading to persistent XSS execution.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to persistent cross-site scripting attacks, which may allow attackers to execute malicious scripts in the context of the affected application. This can result in unauthorized actions such as data theft, session hijacking, or manipulation of the application content, potentially compromising the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of the system.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Directus to version 11.13.0 or later, as this version fixes the stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Additionally, restrict user permissions to limit 'upload files' and 'edit item' capabilities only to trusted users to reduce the risk of exploitation.
