{"id":"CVE-2024-36128","aliases":["GHSA-632p-p495-25m5"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2024-36128","summary":"Directus is soft-locked by providing a string value to random string util","details":"### Describe the Bug\n\nProviding a non-numeric length value to the random string generation utility will create a memory issue breaking the capability to generate random strings platform wide. This creates a denial of service situation where logged in sessions can no longer be refreshed as sessions depend on the capability to generate a random session ID.\n\n### To Reproduce\n\n1. Test if the endpoint is working and accessible, `GET http://localhost:8055/utils/random/string`\n2. Do a bad request `GET http://localhost:8055/utils/random/string?length=foo`\n3. After this all calls to `GET http://localhost:8055/utils/random/string` will return an empty string instead of a random string\n4. In this error situation you'll see authentication refreshes fail for the app and api.\n\n### Impact\n\nThis counts as an unauthenticated denial of service attack vector so this impacts all unpatched instances reachable over the internet.","published":"2024-06-03T14:59:45.507Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:24.899091392Z","cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"epss":{"score":0.0062,"percentile":0.47115,"asOf":"2026-08-21"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":1,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","name":"directus","fixedVersion":"10.11.2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/directus/directus/commit/7d2a1392f43613094de700062aba168a9400dd3b","label":"directus/directus@7d2a139"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/36xxx/CVE-2024-36128.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus/security/advisories/GHSA-632p-p495-25m5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-36128"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus/commit/7d2a1392f43613094de700062aba168a9400dd3b"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/directus/directus"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:24.899091392Z"}}
