Description

Directus inserts access token from query string into logs

Summary

Access token from query string is not redacted and is potentially exposed in system logs which may be persisted.

Details

The access token in req.query is not redacted when the LOG_STYLE is set to raw. If these logs are not properly sanitized or protected, an attacker with access to it can potentially gain administrative control, leading to unauthorized data access and manipulation.

PoC

1. Set LOG_LEVEL="raw" in the environment.

2. Send a request with the access_token in the query string.

3. Notice that the access_token in req.query is not redacted.

Impact

It impacts systems where the LOG_STYLE is set to raw. The access_token in the query could potentially be a long-lived static token. Users with impacted systems should rotate their static tokens if they were provided using query string.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs administrative privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity none, availability none.
