Directus has an HTML Injection in Comment
Summary
The Comment feature has implemented a filter to prevent users from adding restricted characters, such as HTML tags. However, this filter operates on the client-side, which can be bypassed, making the application vulnerable to HTML Injection.
Details
The Comment feature implements a character filter on the client-side, this can be bypassed by directly sending a request to the endpoint.

Host: directus.local
{
"comment": "<h1>TEST <p style=\"color:red\">HTML INJECTION</p> <a href=\"//evil.com\">Test Link</a></h1>"
