Synopsis

A Python library installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The detected version of the Django Python package is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.30, 5.2.x prior to 5.2.13, or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

 - ASGIRequest allows a remote attacker to spoof headers by exploiting an ambiguous mapping of two header variants (with hyphens or with underscores) to a single version with underscores. (CVE-2026-3902)

 - ASGI requests with a missing or understated Content-Length header could bypass the DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE limit when reading HttpRequest.body, allowing remote attackers to load an unbounded request body into memory. (CVE-2026-33034)

 - MultiPartParser allows remote attackers to degrade performance by submitting multipart uploads with Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 including excessive whitespace. (CVE-2026-33033)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Django version 4.2.30, 5.2.13, 6.0.4 or later.
