Overview

AI description

Automated description summarized from trusted sources.

CVE-2025-64459 is an SQL injection vulnerability affecting Django, a widely-used Python web framework. The vulnerability resides in the `QuerySet` methods (`filter()`, `exclude()`, `get()`) and the `Q()` class. It occurs when a crafted dictionary with dictionary expansion is used as the `_connector` argument. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious SQL commands through manipulating the `_connector` argument in `QuerySet` methods. This can lead to unauthorized database access, data manipulation, or exposure of sensitive information. Django versions 5.1 before 5.1.14, 4.2 before 4.2.26, and 5.2 before 5.2.8 are affected. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) might also be affected.

Description: An issue was discovered in 5.1 before 5.1.14, 4.2 before 4.2.26, and 5.2 before 5.2.8. The methods `QuerySet.filter()`, `QuerySet.exclude()`, and `QuerySet.get()`, and the class `Q()`, are subject to SQL injection when using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the `_connector` argument. 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 cyberstan for reporting this issue.
