Description

Directus is a real-time API and App dashboard for managing SQL database content. Prior to 12.0.0, when response caching is enabled, the cache-key derivation in api/src/utils/get-cache-key.ts includes version, path, query, and accountability.user but omits authorization context such as share, role, roles, admin, app, and policies. Directus share tokens and anonymous requests can both reduce to user null, so different shares or anonymous clients requesting the same URL and query can receive a permission-filtered cached response without permission re-evaluation. This issue is fixed in version 12.0.0.
