CVE-2024-45596: Session is cached for OpenID and OAuth2 if `redirect` is not used

September 10, 2024 (updated November 17, 2025)

Unauthenticated user can access credentials of last authenticated user via OpenID or OAuth2 where the authentication URL did not include redirect query string.

For example:

  • Project is configured with OpenID or OAuth2
  • Project is configured with cache enabled
  • User tries to login via SSO link, but without redirect query string
  • After successful login, credentials are cached
  • If an unauthenticated user tries to login via SSO link, it will return the credentials of the other last user

The SSO link is something like https://directus.example.com/auth/login/openid/callback, where openid is the name of the OpenID provider configured in Directus
