Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to version 11.2.0, when sharing an item, a typical user can specify an arbitrary role. It allows the user to use a higher-privileged role to see fields that otherwise the user should not be able to see. Instances that are impacted are those that use the share feature and have specific roles hierarchy and fields that are not visible for certain roles. Version 11.2.0 contains a patch the issue.

Directus allows privilege escalation using Share feature

CVE-2025-24353 [MEDIUM] CWE-269 Directus allows privilege escalation using Share feature
Directus allows privilege escalation using Share feature
### Summary
When sharing an item, user can specify an arbitrary role. It allows user to use a higher-privileged role to see fields that otherwise the user should not be able to see.
### Details
Specifying `role` on share should be available only for admins. The current flow has a security flaw.
Each other role should allow to share only in the context of the same role. As there is no role hierarchy in Directus, it is impossible to tell which role is _higher_ or _lower_, so only admins should be able to specify the role for share.
Optionally, instead of specifying a role, shareer* should be able to specify which fields (limited to fields shareer sees) are available on shared item. Similarily to import.
