Title
Directus <12.1.0 - Authenticated time-based SQL injection in PostgreSQL/PostGIS collection creation
Summary
Directus contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the collection creation flow when the instance uses PostgreSQL with PostGIS enabled. An administrator can create a collection with a geometry field whose fields[].type value starts with geometry but contains attacker-controlled SQL syntax after the geometry subtype.This issue affects Directus: before 12.1.0.
