CVE-2026-61836 is a high-severity information disclosure vulnerability in Directus affecting versions prior to 12.0.0 when response caching is enabled. The flaw is in cache-key derivation within the response-caching logic, where the key incorporates request version, path, query, and accountability.user, but omits other authorization-relevant context such as share, role, roles, admin, app, and policies. As a result, requests made under different permission contexts can collide on the same cache entry. In particular, Directus share-token requests and anonymous requests may both resolve to a null user value, allowing a cached response generated for one authorization scope to be served to another requester without permission re-evaluation. This can expose permission-filtered API data across share boundaries or to unauthenticated clients.
