Password Reset Bypass

Directus is vulnerable to Password Reset Bypass. The vulnerability is due to the password reset mechanism implementation combined with default database configurations in MySQL and MariaDB. This allows attackers in possession of a known email address to redirect a password reset email intended for a victim by registering a similar email address with alternative characters that are considered equivalent to the same ones as characters in the stored email address, by the database engine. The API uses the supplied email address for sending the reset password mail instead of the email address from the database.
