CVE-2026-15307

An issue was discovered in Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 6.0 before 6.0.8. GeoDjango spatial lookups optimistically parse the right-hand-side value as a raster by passing it to the django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster constructor. Any value used in a spatial lookup against a GeometryField or RasterField reaches this constructor, including untrusted input, for example a spatial-field filter submitted through the Django admin changelist query string by a staff user with view permission. A dict, or a str holding its JSON representation, is opened in write mode regardless of the constructor's write=False default, allowing a file with an attacker-chosen name and contents to be written through a file-backed GDAL driver. Any other str is treated as a datasource, allowing an outbound network request through a GDAL virtual filesystem handler. Writing a file to a location later imported by the application can result in remote code execution. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.1.x, 5.0.x, and 4.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected. Django would like to thank Bence Nagy, localhost-detect, and kimchunbok_ for reporting this issue.

An issue was discovered in Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 6.0 before 6.0.8. django.utils.translation.check_for_language() is subject to a potential denial-of-service attack when given many distinct, very long language codes, which are retained as keys in an in-memory cache and consume process memory. Such codes reach the function through the django.views.i18n.set_language() view, which is not routed by default. The consumed memory is bounded, since request data is limited by the DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE setting (default 2.5 MB) and the cache holds a fixed maximum number of entries.(CVE-2026-15337)

An issue was discovered in Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 6.0 before 6.0.8. GeoDjango's django.contrib.gis.geos.GEOSGeometry is subject to a potential denial-of-service when parsing deeply nested GEOMETRYCOLLECTION objects supplied as well-known text (WKT), well-known binary (WKB), or hex-encoded WKB, which triggers unbounded recursion and a segmentation fault in the underlying GEOS library. Spatial field lookups and the django.contrib.gis.forms.GeometryField form field are also affected. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.1.x, 5.0.x, and 4.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected.(CVE-2026-15830)

An issue was discovered in Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 6.0 before 6.0.8. django.contrib.admin.utils.display_for_field() renders URLField values as clickable links in the admin without validating the URL. A value stored with an unsafe scheme is displayed as a link on changelist and read-only admin pages, which allows cross-site scripting against staff users who click the link. Exploitation requires the unsafe value to already be stored in the database. URLField validation through a ModelForm or the admin rejects unsafe schemes, so this affects applications that persist URLField data without running model validation, for example through direct queryset writes, deserialization, or bulk import of untrusted input.(CVE-2026-15920)

Bence Nagy discovered that GeoDjango in Django incorrectly handled spatial lookups when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to make outbound network requests, write arbitrary files, or execute arbitrary code. This issue was only addressed in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-15307)

Ahmad Sadeddin discovered that Django UpdateCacheMiddleware incorrectly cached requests where the Vary header contained an asterisk. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2026-6907)

Ahmed Badawe discovered that Django did not properly parse Cache-Control response directives case-insensitively under certain circumstances. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to view sensitive information from responses that were incorrectly cached. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-8404)
