An issue was discovered in 6.0 before 6.0.3, 5.2 before 5.2.12, and 4.2 before 4.2.29. Race condition in file-system storage and file-based cache backends in Django allows an attacker to cause file system objects to be created with incorrect permissions via concurrent requests, where one thread's temporary `umask` change affects other threads in multi-threaded environments. 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 Tarek Nakkouch for reporting this issue.

The remote openSUSE 16 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the openSUSE- SU-2026:20373-1 advisory.

    Changes in python-Django:

    - CVE-2026-25674: Fixed race condition which can lead to potential incorrect permissions on newly created     file system objects (bsc#1259142)

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

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2026:0821-1 advisory.

    This update for python-Django fixes the following issue:

    - CVE-2026-25674: race condition can lead to potential incorrect permissions on newly created file system     objects       (bsc#1259142).

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

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

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 6.0 before 6.0.3, 5.2 before 5.2.12, and 4.2 before 4.2.29. Race condition in     file-system storage and file-based cache backends in Django allows an attacker to cause file system     objects to be created with incorrect permissions via concurrent requests, where one thread's temporary     `umask` change affects other threads in multi-threaded environments.

(CVE-2026-25674)

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

The detected version of the Django Python package, is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.29, 5.2.x prior to 5.2.12, or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by a race condition vulnerability as referenced by security release advisory:
