Python Library Django 4.2.x < 4.2.22 / 5.1.x < 5.1.10 / 5.2.x < 5.2.2 Log Injection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 237889

Language:

Synopsis

A Python library installed on the remote host is affected by a log injection vulnerability.

Description

The detected version of the Django Python package, Django, is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.22, 5.1.x prior to 5.1.10 or 5.2.x prior to 5.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by a log injection vulnerability as disclosed in Django's June 4th, 2025 security advisory. Internal HTTP response logging does not escape request.path, which allows remote attackers to potentially manipulate log output via crafted URLs. This may lead to log injection or forgery when logs are viewed in terminals or processed by external systems.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Django version 4.2.22, 5.1.10, 5.2.2 or later.
