GHSA-cff8-x7jv-4fm8: Session is cached for OpenID and OAuth2 if `redirect` is not used

### Summary Unauthenticated user can access credentials of last authenticated user via OpenID or OAuth2 where the authentication URL did not include `redirect` query string. For example: - Project is configured with OpenID or OAuth2 - Project is configured with cache enabled - User tries to login via SSO link, but without `redirect` query string - After successful login, credentials are cached - If an unauthenticated user tries to login via SSO link, it will return the credentials of the other last user The SSO link is something like `https://directus.example.com/auth/login/openid/callback`, where `openid` is the name of the OpenID provider configured in Directus ### Details This happens because on that endpoint for both OpenId and Oauth2 Directus is using the `respond` middleware, which by default will try to cache GET requests that met some conditions. Although, those conditions do not include this scenario, when an unauthenticated request returns user credentials. For OpenID, thi...

GHSA-pw44-4h99-wqff: D-Tale vulnerable to Remote Code Execution through the Query input on Chart Builder

### Impact Users hosting D-Tale publicly can be vulnerable to remote code execution allowing attackers to run malicious code on the server. ### Patches Users should upgrade to version 3.14.1 where the "Custom Filter" input is turned off by default. You can find out more information on how to turn it back on [here](https://github.com/man-group/dtale#custom-filter) ### Workarounds The only workaround for versions earlier than 3.14.1 is to only host D-Tale to trusted users. ### References See "Custom Filter" [documentation](https://github.com/man-group/dtale#custom-filter)
