Echo: djangorestframework: security update to 3.17.2

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 462263

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Django REST framework is a toolkit for building Web APIs. Prior to 3.17.2, Django REST Framework's
 request.data parsing in rest_framework/request.py Request._parse() passes the underlying HttpRequest
 stream to JSONParser and FormParser for application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies,
 bypassing Django's DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE protection and allowing oversized request bodies to consume
 additional memory and CPU. This issue is fixed in version 3.17.2. (CVE-2026-73228)

Solution

Update the djangorestframework library and its related packages to version 3.17.2 or later.
