Directus contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the collection creation flow when the instance uses PostgreSQL with PostGIS enabled. An administrator can create a collection with a geometry field whose fields[].type value starts with geometry but contains attacker-controlled SQL syntax after the geometry subtype.This issue affects Directus: before 12.1.0.
CVE-2026-10716
This high-severity CVE scores 7.5 under a secondary CVSS source (NVD's own analysis pending). EPSS exploit probability: 0.3%, top 76% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
- High severity, but no confirmed exploitation yet
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
