SCA: security update for djangorestframework (GHSA-3547-9m27-7rxg)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476831

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. From 3.6.4 until 3.18.2, JSONParser.parse in
 rest_framework/parsers.py uses the client-supplied Content-Type charset value with codecs.getreader, which
 accepts byte-transform codecs such as bz2_codec rather than only text encodings. A remote unauthenticated
 client can therefore cause a compressed JSON request body to be expanded after Django has enforced
 DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE against only the wire bytes, allowing a very small request to consume
 substantial per-worker memory. The default parser set is sufficient, and any reachable endpoint that
 accepts a JSON body is affected. This issue is fixed in version 3.18.2. (CVE-2026-114136)

Solution

Update the djangorestframework library and its related packages to version 3.18.2 or later.
