An issue was discovered in Django 4.2 before 4.2.25, 5.1 before 5.1.13, and 5.2 before 5.2.7. The django.utils.archive.extract() function, used by the "startapp --template" and "startproject --template" commands, allows partial directory traversal via an archive with file paths sharing a common prefix with the target directory.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2025:19201 advisory.

    Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing     IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to     individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing     knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an     organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless     language.

    Security Fix(es):

    * automation-platform-ui: tar-fs symlink validation bypass (CVE-2025-59343)
    * python3.11-django: Potential partial directory-traversal via archive.extract() (CVE-2025-59682)

    Package        : python-django     Version        : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u9     CVE IDs        : CVE-2025-59681 CVE-2025-59682     Debian Bug     : 1116979

    It was discovered that there were two vulnerabilities in Django, a     popular web development framework:

     * CVE-2025-59681: Fix a potential SQL injection in        QuerySet.annotate(), alias(), aggregate() and extra(). These        methods were subject to SQL injection in column aliases, using a        suitably crafted dictionary via dictionary expansion as the
       **kwargs passed to these methods on MySQL and MariaDB.

     * CVE-2025-59682: Fix a potential partial directory-traversal        vulnerability in archive.extract(). This function, used by        startapp --template and startproject --template allowed partial        directory-traversal via an archive with file paths sharing a        common prefix with the target directory.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2:2.2.28-1~deb11u9.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.

    For the detailed security status of python-django please refer to     its security tracker page at:

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in Django 4.2 before 4.2.25, 5.1 before 5.1.13, and 5.2 before 5.2.7. The     django.utils.archive.extract() function, used by the startapp --template and startproject --template     commands, allows partial directory traversal via an archive with file paths sharing a common prefix with     the target directory. (CVE-2025-59682)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03446-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-59681: SQL injection via the `QuerySet` annotate()`, `alias()`, `aggregate()`, or `extra()`     methods when       processing a specially crafted dictionary with dictionary expansion (bsc#1250485).
    - CVE-2025-59682: directory traversal via the `django.utils.archive.extract()` function when processing an     archive with       file paths that share a common prefix with the target directory (bsc#1250487).

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 90fc859e-9fe4-11f0-9fa2-080027836e8b advisory.

    Django reports:
    CVE-2025-59681: Potential SQL injection in QuerySet.annotate(), alias(), aggregate(), and extra() on MySQL     and MariaDB.
    CVE-2025-59682: Potential partial directory-traversal via archive.extract().

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7794-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled special characters in the QuerySet function calls. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform SQL injection attacks. (CVE-2025-59681)

    It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled files with the same path prefix when starting with a     template. An attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2025-59682)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
