Synopsis

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

Description

The detected version of the Django Python package, Django, is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.24, 5.1.x prior to 5.1.12, or 5.2.x prior to 5.2.6. It is, therefore, affected by a SQL injection vulnerability as disclosed in Django's September 3rd, 2025 security advisory. FilteredRelation is subject to SQL injection in column aliases, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the **kwargs passed QuerySet.annotate() or QuerySet.alias().

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 4.2.24, 5.1.12, 5.2.6 or later.
