GHSA-2hrw-hx67-34x6

HIGH

Resource exhaustion in Django

Published February 15, 2023Updated March 19, 2025Source: osv

Details

An issue was discovered in the Multipart Request Parser in Django 3.2 before 3.2.18, 4.0 before 4.0.10, and 4.1 before 4.1.7. Passing certain inputs (e.g., an excessive number of parts) to multipart forms could result in too many open files or memory exhaustion, and provided a potential vector for a denial-of-service attack.

Remediation

Upgrade to the fixed version using your package manager.

pip
Update django to 3.2.18 or later
pip install "django>=3.2.18"
pip
Update django to 4.0.10 or later
pip install "django>=4.0.10"
pip
Update django to 4.1.7 or later
pip install "django>=4.1.7"

After upgrading, run your dependency scanner again to confirm the vulnerability is resolved.
