What is CVE-2026-26185?

A vulnerability exists in Directus, a real-time API and app dashboard for managing SQL database content, prior to version 11.14.1. This flaw allows attackers to exploit the password reset functionality by providing an invalid reset_url parameter. The response time differs significantly between valid and invalid users, creating a window for user enumeration attacks. Reliable identification of existing users can occur due to a timing discrepancy of approximately 500ms, potentially exposing sensitive user information. This vulnerability was addressed in version 11.14.1.
