GHSA-g27j-74fp-xfpr
No affected components available
Impact
The default value for the CORS_ENABLED and CORS_ORIGIN configuration was set to be very permissive by default. This could lead to unauthorized access in uncontrolled environments when the configuration hasn't been changed.
Patches
The default values for CORS have been changed in https://github.com/directus/directus/pull/12022 which is released under 9.7.0
Workarounds
Configure the CORS environment variables to match your project's usage, rather than leaving them at the (permissive) defaults.
