Echo: django: security update to 5.2.17

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 471219

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered in Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 6.0 before 6.0.8. GeoDjango spatial lookups
 optimistically parse the right-hand-side value as a raster by passing it to the
 `django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster` constructor. Any value used in a spatial lookup against a
 `GeometryField` or `RasterField` reaches this constructor, including untrusted input, for example a
 spatial-field filter submitted through the Django admin changelist query string by a staff user with view
 permission. A `dict`, or a `str` holding its JSON representation, is opened in write mode regardless of
 the constructor's `write=False` default, allowing a file with an attacker-chosen name and contents to be
 written through a file-backed GDAL driver. Any other `str` is treated as a datasource, allowing an
 outbound network request through a GDAL virtual filesystem handler. Writing a file to a location later
 imported by the application can result in remote code execution. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such
 as 5.1.x, 5.0.x, and 4.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected. Django would like to thank Bence
 Nagy, localhost-detect, and kimchunbok_ for reporting this issue. (CVE-2026-15307)

Solution

Update the django library and its related packages to version 5.2.17 or later.
