SQL Injection in django (CVE-2026-1287)
Summary
SQL injection in django (CVE-2026-1287). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via FilteredRelation. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.2.28, 5.2.11, 6.0.2 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
An issue was discovered in 6.0 before 6.0.2, 5.2 before 5.2.11, and 4.2 before 4.2.28.
FilteredRelation is subject to SQL injection in column aliases via control characters, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the **kwargs passed to QuerySet methods annotate(), aggregate(), extra(), values(), values_list(), and alias().
Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected.
Django would like to thank Solomon Kebede for reporting this issue.
