CVE-2026-61835: Directus: SSRF Protection Bypass via 0.0.0.0 in File Import
The SSRF protection on Directus’s file-import-from-URL feature can be bypassed using the address 0.0.0.0. While 127.0.0.1 and other internal addresses are denied, 0.0.0.0 is not added to the blocklist. On Linux and macOS, connecting to 0.0.0.0 reaches localhost, so an authenticated user with file-upload rights can make the server fetch internal services and retrieve the response as a downloadable file (full-read SSRF).
