Summary
An SQL injection vulnerability was discovered in Django 6.0 before 6.0.2, 5.2 before 5.2.11, and 4.2 before 4.2.28 in `FilteredRelation` column aliases via control characters. A crafted dictionary with dictionary expansion passed as `**kwargs` to `annotate()`, `aggregate()`, `extra()`, `values()`, `values_list()`, and `alias()` methods can be exploited.
Risk Assessment
The vulnerability allows an attacker to manipulate SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade Django to version 6.0.2, 5.2.11, or 4.2.28 depending on the release series in use.
Original NVD description (English 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.
