Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. When relying on blocking access to localhost using the default `0.0.0.0` filter a user may bypass this block by using other registered loopback devices (like `127.0.0.2` - `127.127.127.127`). This issue has been addressed in release versions 10.13.3 and 11.1.0. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may block this bypass by manually adding the `127.0.0.0/8` CIDR range which will block access to any `127.X.X.X` ip instead of just `127.0.0.1`.

Directus: SSRF Protection Bypass via 0.0.0.0 in File Import
ghsa·2026-07-20
CVE-2026-61835 [HIGH] CWE-918 Directus: SSRF Protection Bypass via 0.0.0.0 in File Import
Directus: SSRF Protection Bypass via 0.0.0.0 in File Import
### Summary
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).
### Affected Versions
- **Affected:** Directus `= 12.0.0`
### Details
Directus uses a deny-list config, `IMPORT_IP_DENY_LIST`, whose default value is `['0.0.0.0', '169.254.169.254']`.
The issue is in how `api/src/request/is-denied-ip.ts` processes this list. When it encounters the entry `0
