CVE-2025-64746: Directus has Improper Permission Handling on Deleted Fields

November 14, 2025

Directus does not properly clean up field-level permissions when a field is deleted. If a new field with the same name is created later, the system automatically re-applies the old permissions, which can lead to unauthorized access.
