Description

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. When relying on blocking access to localhost using the default 0.0.0.0 filter a user may bypass this block by using other registered loopback devices (like 127.0.0.2 - 127.127.127.127). This issue has been addressed in release versions 10.13.3 and 11.1.0. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may block this bypass by manually adding the 127.0.0.0/8 CIDR range which will block access to any 127.X.X.X ip instead of just 127.0.0.1.

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for directus, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update directus to 10.13.3 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-68g8-c275-xf2m is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Restrict outbound requests from the affected component to an allowlist of hosts, block access to link-local and internal address ranges at the network layer, and require authentication on internal services so a forged request cannot reach them unauthenticated.

Frequently Asked Questions

### Impact If you're relying on blocking access to localhost using the default `0.0.0.0` filter this can be bypassed using other registered loopback devices (like `127.0.0.2` - `127.127.127.127`) ### Workaround You can block this bypass by manually adding the `127.0.0.0/8` CIDR range which will block access to any `127.X.X.X` ip instead of just `127.0.0.1`.
