Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an open redirect issue in Directus versions prior to 11.16.1. It occurs in the login redirection logic where the function responsible for allowing redirects (isLoginRedirectAllowed) fails to correctly identify certain malformed URLs as external. This flaw allows attackers to bypass the redirect allow-list validation and redirect users to arbitrary external domains after they successfully authenticate.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can be exploited by attackers to redirect authenticated users to malicious external websites. This can lead to phishing attacks, where users might be tricked into providing sensitive information or downloading malware, thereby compromising user security and trust.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should upgrade Directus to version 11.16.1 or later, where the open redirect issue in the login redirection logic has been fixed.
