CVE-2025-64747

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in versions prior to 11.13.0 that allows users with `upload files` and `edit item` permissions to inject malicious JavaScript through the Block Editor interface. Attackers can bypass Content Security Policy (CSP) restrictions by combining file uploads with iframe srcdoc attributes, resulting in persistent XSS execution. Version 11.13.0 fixes the issue.

Summary		(es) Directus es un panel de control de API y aplicación en tiempo real para gestionar contenido de base de datos SQL. Una vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting (XSS) almacenado existe en versiones anteriores a 11.13.0 que permite a usuarios con permisos de 'subir archivos' y 'editar elemento' inyectar JavaScript malicioso a través de la interfaz del Editor de Bloques. Los atacantes pueden eludir las restricciones de la Política de Seguridad de Contenido (CSP) combinando cargas de archivos con atributos srcdoc de iframe, lo que resulta en una ejecución persistente de XSS. La versión 11.13.0 corrige el problema.
