{"cve":"CVE-2026-35412","nvd":{"published":"2026-04-06T22:16:22.397","modified":"2026-07-24T21:10:00.143","status":"Analyzed","description":"Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to 11.16.1, Directus' TUS resumable upload endpoint (/files/tus) allows any authenticated user with basic file upload permissions to overwrite arbitrary existing files by UUID. The TUS controller performs only collection-level authorization checks, verifying the user has some permission on directus_files, but never validates item-level access to the specific file being replaced. As a result, row-level permission rules (e.g., \"users can only update their own files\") are completely bypassed via the TUS path while being correctly enforced on the standard REST upload path. This vulnerability is fixed in 11.16.1.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":8.1},"cwes":["CWE-863"],"references":["https://github.com/directus/directus/security/advisories/GHSA-qqmv-5p3g-px89"],"products":["monospace:directus"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:28:59.047572785+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-35412","score":0.00302,"percentile":0.2302,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-qqmv-5p3g-px89","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-qqmv-5p3g-px89","summary":"Directus: TUS Upload Authorization Bypass Allows Arbitrary File Overwrite","modified":"2026-04-07T14:35:33.556091Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"directus","purl":"pkg:npm/directus","ranges":["<11.16.1"],"fixed":["11.16.1"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
