Aliases CVE-2022-26969
Summary Insecure default value for CORS configuration ### Impact The default value for the `CORS_ENABLED` and `CORS_ORIGIN` configuration was set to be very permissive by default. This could lead to unauthorized access in uncontrolled environments when the configuration hasn't been changed. ### Patches The default values for CORS have been changed in https://github.com/directus/directus/pull/12022 which is released under 9.7.0 ### Workarounds Configure the CORS environment variables to match your project's usage, rather than leaving them at the (permissive) defaults. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [directus/directus](https://github.com/directus/directus) * Email us at [security@directus.io](mailto:security@directus.io)
