2026-04-07[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2026-33034 -- Enforced DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE on body ↵Natalia
size in ASGI requests. The `body` property in `HttpRequest` checks DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE against the declared `Content-Length` header before reading. On the ASGI path, chunked requests carry no `Content-Length`, so the check evaluated to 0 and always passed regardless of the actual body size. This work adds a new check on the actual number of bytes consumed. Thanks to Superior for the report, and to Jake Howard and Jacob Walls for reviews. Backport of 953c238058c0ce387a1a41cb491bfc1875d73ad0 from main.
2026-04-07[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2026-33033 -- Mitigated potential DoS in MultiPartParser.Natalia
When a multipart file part used `Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64` and the non-whitespace base64 bytes did not align to a multiple of 4 within a chunk, the parser entered a loop calling `field_stream.read(1-3)` once per whitespace byte. Each such call fetched the entire internal buffer, sliced off 1-3 bytes, and pushed the remainder back via unget(), doing an O(n) memory copy per call. A 2.5 MB payload of mostly whitespace produced CPU amplification relative to a normal upload of the same size. The alignment loop now reads `self._chunk_size` bytes at a time, and accumulates stripped parts in a list joined once at the end. Thanks to Seokchan Yoon for the report and the fixing patch. Backport of 7e9885f99cee771b51692fadc5592bdbf19641aa from main.
2026-04-07[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2026-4292 -- Disallowed instance creation via ↵Jacob Walls

2026-04-07[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2026-4277 -- Checked add permissions in ↵Jacob Walls
GenericInlineModelAdmin. Edit permissions were still checked as part of ordinary form validation, but because GenericInlineModelAdmin overrides get_formset(), it lacked InlineModelAdmin's dynamic DeleteProtectedModelForm.has_changed() logic for checking permissions server-side, leaving the add case unaddressed. This change reimplements the relevant part of InlineModelAdmin.get_formset(). Thanks N05ec@LZU-DSLab for the report, and Natalia Bidart, Markus Holtermann, and Simon Charette for reviews.

2026-03-30[5.2.x] Bumped black to 26.3.1.Jacob Walls
Although Django was not affected by the security issue patched in black 26.3.0, it's worth upgrading to satisfy the zizmor check.

2026-03-03[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2026-25674 -- Prevented potentially incorrect permissions ↵Natalia
on file system object creation. This fix introduces `safe_makedirs()` in the `os` utils as a safer alternative to `os.makedirs()` that avoids umask-related race conditions in multi-threaded environments. This is a workaround for https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/86533 and the solution is based on the fix being proposed for CPython. Co-authored-by: Gregory P.

2026-03-03[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2026-25673 -- Simplified URLField scheme detection.Natalia
This simplicaftion mitigates a potential DoS in URLField on Windows. The usage of `urlsplit()` in `URLField.to_python()` was replaced with `str.partition(":")` for URL scheme detection. On Windows, `urlsplit()` performs Unicode normalization which is slow for certain characters, making `URLField` vulnerable to DoS via specially crafted POST payloads. Thanks Seokchan Yoon for the report, and Jake Howard and Shai Berger for the review. Refs #36923.

2026-02-03[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2026-1312 -- Protected order_by() from SQL injection via ↵Jacob Walls
aliases with periods. Before, `order_by()` treated a period in a field name as a sign that it was requested via `.extra(order_by=...)` and thus should be passed through as raw table and column names, even if `extra()` was not used. Since periods are permitted in aliases, this meant user-controlled aliases could force the `order_by()` clause to resolve to a raw table and column pair instead of the actual target field for the alias. In practice, only `FilteredRelation` was affected, as the other expressions we tested, e.g. `F`, aggressively optimize away the ordering expressions into ordinal positions, e.g. ORDER BY 2, instead of ORDER BY "table".column. Thanks Solomon Kebede for the report, and Simon Charette and Jake Howard for reviews. Backport of 69065ca869b0970dff8fdd8fafb390bf8b3bf222 from main.

aliases via control characters. Control characters in FilteredRelation column aliases could be used for SQL injection attacks. This affected QuerySet.annotate(), aggregate(), extra(), values(), values_list(), and alias() when using dictionary expansion with **kwargs. Thanks Solomon Kebede for the report, and Simon Charette, Jacob Walls, and Natalia Bidart for reviews. Backport of e891a84c7ef9962bfcc3b4685690219542f86a22 from main.
2026-02-03[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2026-1285 -- Mitigated potential DoS in ↵Natalia
django.utils.text.Truncator for HTML input. The `TruncateHTMLParser` used `deque.remove()` to remove tags from the stack when processing end tags. With crafted input containing many unmatched end tags, this caused repeated full scans of the tag stack, leading to quadratic time complexity. The fix uses LIFO semantics, only removing a tag from the stack when it matches the most recently opened tag. This avoids linear scans for unmatched end tags and reduces complexity to linear time. Refs #30686 and 6ee37ada3241ed263d8d1c2901b030d964cbd161. Thanks Seokchan Yoon for the report, and Jake Howard and Jacob Walls for reviews.

2025-12-02[5.2.x] Fixed CVE-2025-64460 -- Corrected quadratic inner text accumulation ↵Shai Berger
in XML serializer. Previously, `getInnerText()` recursively used `list.extend()` on strings, which added each character from child nodes as a separate list element. On deeply nested XML content, this caused the overall deserialization work to grow quadratically with input size, potentially allowing disproportionate CPU consumption for crafted XML. The fix separates collection of inner texts from joining them, so that each subtree is joined only once, reducing the complexity to linear in the size of the input. These changes also include a mitigation for a xml.dom.minidom performance issue. Thanks Seokchan Yoon (https://ch4n3.kr/) for report.

HttpResponseRedirectBase. Refs CVE-2025-64458. The previous limit of 2048 characters reused the URLValidator constant and proved too restrictive for legitimate redirects to some third-party services.

annotated queryset. Regression in b8e5a8a9a2a767f584cbe89a878a42363706f939. Refs #36404. The replace_expressions method was innapropriately dealing with falsey but not None source expressions causing them to also be potentially evaluated when __bool__ was invoked (e.g. QuerySet.__bool__ evaluates the queryset). The changes introduced in b8e5a8a9a2, which were to deal with a similar issue, surfaced the problem as aggregation over an annotated queryset requires an inlining (or pushdown) of aggregate references which is achieved through replace_expressions. In cases where an empty Q object was provided as an aggregate filter, such as when the admin facetting feature was used as reported, it would wrongly be turned into None, instead of an empty WhereNode, causing a crash at aggregate filter compilation. Note that the crash signature differed depending on whether or not the backend natively supports aggregate filtering (supports_aggregate_filter_clause) as the fallback, which makes use Case / When expressions, would result in a TypeError instead of a NoneType AttributeError. Thanks Rafael Urben for the report, Antoliny and Youngkwang Yang for the triage. Backport of 2a6e0bd72d4a69725b957d6748a4b834f21b12b5 from main
