Vulnerability in Django (CVE-2026-87975)

Summary

Vulnerability in Django (CVE-2026-87975). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via OneToOneField.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

An issue was discovered in Django 6.1 before 6.1.2, 6.0 before 6.0.9, and 5.2 before 5.2.18.
django.forms.models.BaseModelFormSet.save_existing_objects() used the presence of a primary key on a submitted form's instance as evidence that the instance belonged to the formset's limiting queryset. An object outside that queryset is represented by a newly constructed instance whose primary key can still be populated from submitted data when the model's primary key is a field accepted by the form, such as a OneToOneField or parent link used as the primary key of an inline formset's model, or a natural or UUID primary key included in the form's fields. This allows an authenticated user permitted to submit such a formset to delete rows outside the limiting queryset, without any permission on the targeted object, via forged management-form data marking an out-of-queryset object for deletion. Models using the default AutoField primary key are not 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.
Django would like to thank Seonggwon Yoon for reporting this issue.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'Django' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で Django を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
