Overview

CVE-2026-61835 is a high-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 15, 2026 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.7 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.7, rated HIGH. It can be exploited remotely over the network. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical description

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to 12.0.0, the SSRF protection on Directus's file-import-from-URL feature can be bypassed using the address 0.0.0.0 because api/src/request/is-denied-ip.ts treats 0.0.0.0 as a keyword for local interfaces but never blocks the literal address itself. On Linux and macOS, connecting to 0.0.0.0 reaches localhost, so an authenticated user with file-upload rights can make the server fetch internal services through the /files/import endpoint and retrieve the response as a downloadable file. This issue is fixed in version 12.0.0.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
