Package : python-django Version : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u9 CVE IDs : CVE-2025-59681 CVE-2025-59682 Debian Bug : 1116979

It was discovered that there were two vulnerabilities in Django, a popular web development framework:

* CVE-2025-59681: Fix a potential SQL injection in QuerySet.annotate(), alias(), aggregate() and extra(). These methods were subject to SQL injection in column aliases, using a suitably crafted dictionary via dictionary expansion as the
**kwargs passed to these methods on MySQL and MariaDB.

* CVE-2025-59682: Fix a potential partial directory-traversal vulnerability in archive.extract(). This function, used by startapp --template and startproject --template allowed partial directory-traversal via an archive with file paths sharing a common prefix with the target directory.

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.

For the detailed security status of python-django please refer to its security tracker page at:
