Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-24049)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in wheel unpack. A remote attacker can craft a malicious wheel file that, when unpacked, changes the permissions of critical system files.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-23490)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling RELATIVE-OID with excessive continuation octets. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-22029)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
4) Improper handling of highly compressed data (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-69223)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the application does not properly handle highly compressed data within the auto_decompress feature. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted compressed HTTP request to the server and consume all available memory resources.
5) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-1312)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the QuerySet.order_by() method. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.
6) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-1287)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed to QuerySet methods annotate(), aggregate(), extra(), values(), values_list(), and alias().. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.
7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-1285)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the django.utils.text.Truncator.chars() and Truncator.words() methods (with html=True) and truncatechars_html and truncatewords_html template filters. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-1207)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed as a band index to raster lookups on GIS fields (only implemented on PostGIS). A remote user can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-14550)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when using ASGIRequest. A remote attacker can send multiple requests with duplicated HTTP headers to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Uncontrolled recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-0994)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion in within the google.protobuf.json_format.ParseDict(). A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-61726)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the Request.ParseForm method in net/http when parsing a URL-encoded form. A remote attacker can pass an overly large request with a large number of key-value pairs and consume all available memory on the system.
