{"id":"CVE-2026-126539","summary":"Directus before 12.1.0 Authorization Bypass via Public WebSocket REST Interface","details":"Directus before 12.1.0 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to skip permission checks by sending a failed auth message on public-mode WebSocket connections. Attackers can send an invalid token so handleAuthRequest sets accountability to null, then read, create, update or delete records in any user-defined collection.","aliases":["GHSA-97xr-jchp-xm3c"],"modified":"2026-11-11T10:47:26.824387762Z","published":"2026-11-11T00:58:52.738Z","database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"VulnCheck","cwe_ids":["CWE-636"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/126xxx/CVE-2026-126539.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/126xxx/CVE-2026-126539.json"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus"},{"type":"ARTICLE","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus/blob/v12.0.2/api/src/websocket/controllers/base.ts#L381-L397"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus/commit/8d4cd86783bcbf5444eaf290e8dcecb33929300e"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus/releases/tag/v12.1.0"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus/security/advisories/GHSA-97xr-jchp-xm3c"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-126539"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/directus-before-12.1.0-authorization-bypass-via-public-websocket-rest-interface"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/directus/directus","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"c65322a42d17353718c6e32a7741e593d4738fb7"},{"fixed":"8d4cd86783bcbf5444eaf290e8dcecb33929300e"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"source":"AFFECTED_FIELD","strategy":"StandardRange","range":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"12.1.0"}]},{"range":[{"fixed":"8d4cd86783bcbf5444eaf290e8dcecb33929300e"}],"source":"REFERENCES_COMMIT"},{"range":[{"fixed":"c65322a42d17353718c6e32a7741e593d4738fb7"}],"source":"REFERENCES_TAG","original_tag":"v12.1.0"}]}}],"versions":["v12.0.2","v12.0.1","v12.0.0","v12.0.0-rc.2","v12.0.0-rc.1","v11.17.4","v11.17.3","v11.17.2","v11.17.1","v11.17.0","v11.16.1","v11.16.0","v11.15.4","v11.15.3","v11.15.2","v11.15.1","v11.15.0","v11.14.1","v11.14.0","v11.13.4","v11.13.3","v11.13.2","v11.13.1","v11.13.0","v11.12.0","v11.11.0","v11.10.2","v11.10.1","v11.10.0","v11.9.3","v11.9.2","v11.9.1","v11.9.0","v11.8.0","v11.7.2","v11.7.1","v11.7.0","v11.6.1","v11.6.0","v11.5.1","v11.5.0","v11.4.1","v11.4.0","v11.3.5","v11.3.4","v11.3.3","v11.3.2","v11.3.1","v11.3.0","v11.2.2","v11.2.1","v11.2.0","v11.1.2","v11.1.1","v11.1.0","v10.13.2","v11.0.2","v11.0.1","v11.0.0","v10.13.1","v10.13.0","v10.12.1","v10.11.2","10.11.2","v10.11.1","v10.11.0","v10.10.7","v10.10.6","v10.10.5","v10.10.4","v10.10.3","v10.10.2","v10.10.1","v10.10.0","v10.9.3","v10.9.2","v10.9.1","v10.9.0","v10.8.3","v10.8.2","v10.8.1","v10.8.0","v10.7.2","v10.7.1","v10.7.0","v10.6.4","v10.6.3","v10.6.2","v10.6.1","v10.6.0","v10.5.3","v10.5.2","v10.5.1","v10.5.0","v10.4.3","v10.4.2","v10.4.0","v10.3.0","v10.2.1","v10.2.0","v10.1.1","v10.1.0","v10.0.0","v9.26.0","v9.25.2","v9.25.1","v9.25.0","v9.24.0","v9.23.4","v9.23.3","v9.23.2","v9.23.1","v9.23.0","v9.22.4","v9.22.3","v9.22.2","v9.22.1","v9.22.0","v9.21.2","v9.21.1","v9.21.0","v9.20.4","v9.20.3","v9.20.2","v9.20.1","v9.20.0","v9.19.2","v9.19.1","v9.19.0","v9.18.1","v9.18.0","v9.17.4","v9.17.3","v9.17.2","v9.17.1","v9.17.0","v9.16.1","v9.16.0","v9.15.1","v9.15.0","v9.14.5","v9.14.4","v9.14.3","v9.14.2","v9.14.1","v9.13.0","v9.12.2","v9.12.1","v9.12.0","v9.11.1","v9.11.0","v9.10.0","v9.9.1","v9.9.0","v9.8.0","v9.7.1","v9.7.0","v9.6.0","v9.5.2","v9.5.1","v9.5.0","v9.4.3","v9.4.2","v9.4.1","v9.4.0","v9.3.0","v9.2.2","v9.2.1","v9.2.0","v9.1.2","v9.1.1","v9.1.0","v9.0.1","v9.0.0","v9.0.0-rc.101","v9.0.0-rc.100","v9.0.0-rc.99","v9.0.0-rc.98","v9.0.0-rc.97","v9.0.0-rc.96","v9.0.0-rc.95","v9.0.0-rc.94","v9.0.0-rc.93","v9.0.0-rc.92","v9.0.0-rc.91","v9.0.0-rc.90","v9.0.0-rc.89","v9.0.0-rc.88","v9.0.0-rc.87","v9.0.0-rc.86","v9.0.0-rc.85","v9.0.0-rc.84","v9.0.0-rc.83","v9.0.0-rc.82","v9.0.0-rc.81","v9.0.0-rc.80","v9.0.0-rc.79","v9.0.0-rc.78","v9.0.0-rc.77","v9.0.0-rc.76","v9.0.0-rc.75","v9.0.0-rc.74","v9.0.0-rc.73","v9.0.0-rc.72","v9.0.0-rc.71","v9.0.0-rc.70","v9.0.0-rc.69","v9.0.0-rc.68","v9.0.0-rc.67","v9.0.0-rc.66","v9.0.0-rc.65","v9.0.0-rc.64","v9.0.0-rc.63","v9.0.0-rc.62","v9.0.0-rc.61","v9.0.0-rc.60","v9.0.0-rc.59","v9.0.0-rc.58","v9.0.0-rc.57","v9.0.0-rc.56","v9.0.0-rc.55","v9.0.0-rc.54","v9.0.0-rc.53","v9.0.0-rc.52","v9.0.0-rc.51","v9.0.0-rc.50","v9.0.0-rc.49","v9.0.0-rc.48","v9.0.0-rc.47","v9.0.0-rc.46","v9.0.0-rc.45","v9.0.0-rc.44","v9.0.0-rc.43","v9.0.0-rc.42","v9.0.0-rc.41","v9.0.0-rc.40","v9.0.0-rc.39","v9.0.0-rc.38","v9.0.0-rc.37","v9.0.0-rc.36","v9.0.0-rc.35","v9.0.0-rc.34","v9.0.0-rc.33","v9.0.0-rc.32","v9.0.0-rc.31","v9.0.0-rc.30","v9.0.0-rc.29","v9.0.0-rc.28","v9.0.0-rc.27","v9.0.0-rc.25","v9.0.0-rc.26","v9.0.0-rc.24","v9.0.0-rc.23","v9.0.0-rc.22","v9.0.0-rc.21","v9.0.0-rc.20","v9.0.0-rc.19","v9.0.0-rc.18","v9.0.0-rc.17","v9.0.0-rc.15","v9.0.0-rc.14","v9.0.0-rc.13","v9.0.0-rc.12","v9.0.0-rc.11","v9.0.0-rc.10","v9.0.0-rc.9","v9.0.0-rc.8","v9.0.0-rc.7","v9.0.0-rc.6","v9.0.0-rc.5","v9.0.0-rc.4","v9.0.0-rc.3","v9.0.0-rc.2","v9.0.0-rc.1
