CVE-2026-39943

Directus exposes sensitive fields in revision history

State: Published
Severity: 6.5 Medium
Published: Apr 9, 2026
Updated: Apr 10, 2026
Reserved: Apr 7, 2026

Description

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to 11.17.0, Directus stores revision records (in directus_revisions) whenever items are created or updated. Due to the revision snapshot code not consistently calling the prepareDelta sanitization pipeline, sensitive fields (including user tokens, two-factor authentication secrets, external auth identifiers, auth data, stored credentials, and AI provider API keys) could be stored in plaintext within revision records. This vulnerability is fixed in 11.17.0.
