Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

### Impact Users with read access to the `password` field in `directus_users` can extract the argon2 password hashes by brute forcing the export functionality combined with a `_starts_with` filter. This allows the user to enumerate the password hashes. ### Patches The problem has been patched by preventing any hashed/concealed field to be filtered against with the `_starts_with` or other string operator. ### Workarounds Ensuring that no user has `read` access to the `password` field in `directus_users` is sufficient to prevent this vulnerability. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open a Discussion in [directus/directus](https://github.com/directus/directus/discussions/new) * Email us at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])
