CVE-2025-64748

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. A vulnerability in versions prior to 11.13.0 allows authenticated users to search concealed/sensitive fields when they have read permissions. While actual values remain masked (****), successful matches can be detected through returned records, enabling enumeration attacks on sensitive data. Version 11.13.0 fixes the issue.

While actual values remain masked (****), successful matches can be detected through returned records, enabling enumeration attacks on sensitive data. Version 11.13.0 fixes the issue.

Summary

A vulnerability allows authenticated users to search concealed/sensitive fields when they have read permissions. While actual values remain masked (****), successful matches can be detected through returned records, enabling enumeration attacks on sensitive data.

Details

The system permits search operations on concealed fields in the directus_users collection, including token, tfa_secret, password. Matching records are returned with masked values, but their presence confirms the searched value exists.

The "Recommended Defaults" for "App Access" grant users full read permissions to their role/user records, inadvertently enabling them to search for any user's tokens, TFA secrets, and password hashes. Attackers can leverage known password hashes from breach databases to identify accounts with compromised passwords.

Impact

This vulnerability enables:

• Token enumeration - Verification of valid authentication tokens
• Password hash matching - Identification of accounts using known compromised passwords
• Information disclosure - Confirmation of sensitive value existence without viewing actual data
• Increased attack surface - Default permissions automatically expose all deployments using recommended settings

The risk is particularly high for password fields, where attackers can cross-reference publicly available hash databases to identify vulnerable accounts.

This package appears to be part of the tea.xyz token reward campaign that flooded npm. These packages typically contain autopublish scripts (auto.js, autopublish.js, autopublish2.js, autopublish3.js) designed to automatically generate and publish derivative packages with randomized names to inflate developer reputation scores for tea protocol token rewards. The malicious payload modifies package.json to remove private flags, changes version numbers, generates random Indonesian-themed package names (some variants are also in English), and continuously republishes variants to pollute the npm registry.
