Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability exists in the directus npm package and allows for the exposure of sensitive session credentials in flow logs. The analysis of the provided patch 859f664f56fb50401c407b095889cea38ff580e5 pinpoints the exact location of the vulnerability. The patch modifies the api/src/flows.ts file, specifically within the FlowManager.run method. This method iterates through operations in a flow, and for the 'log' operation, it previously used the raw keyedData which could contain sensitive information like authentication tokens from cookies or headers. The fix introduces a redaction step using redactObject before the data is passed to the applyOptionsData function, ensuring that sensitive information is stripped out before being logged. Therefore, the FlowManager.run function is the vulnerable function as it is responsible for processing the flow operations and handling the data that gets logged.
