CVE-2025-30353
Directus's webhook trigger flows can leak sensitive data
Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Starting in version 9.12.0 and prior to version 11.5.0, when a Flow with the "Webhook" trigger and the "Data of Last Operation" response body encounters a ValidationError thrown by a failed condition operation, the API response includes sensitive data. This includes environmental variables, sensitive API keys, user accountability information, and operational data. This issue poses a significant security risk, as any unintended exposure of this data could lead to potential misuse. Version 11.5.0 fixes the issue.

Directus's webhook trigger flows can leak sensitive data
Describe the Bug
In Directus, when a Flow with the "Webhook" trigger and the "Data of Last Operation" response body encounters a ValidationError thrown by a failed condition operation, the API response includes sensitive data. This includes environmental variables, sensitive API keys, user accountability information, and operational data.
This issue poses a significant security risk, as any unintended exposure of this data could lead to potential misuse.
To Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a Flow in Directus with:
- Trigger: Webhook
- Response Body: Data of Last Operation
- Add a condition that is likely to fail.
- Trigger the Flow with any input data that will fail the condition.
- Observe the API response, which includes sensitive information like:
- Environmental variables (
$env) - Authorization headers
- User details under
$accountability - Previous operational data.
- Environmental variables (
Expected Behavior: In the event of a ValidationError, the API response should only contain relevant error messages and details, avoiding the exposure of sensitive data.
Actual Behavior: The API response includes sensitive information such as:
- Environment keys (
FLOWS_ENV_ALLOW_LIST) - User accountability (
role,user, etc.) - Operational logs (
current_payments,$last), which might contain private details.
