Python Library Django 5.2.x < 5.2.16 / 6.0.x < 6.0.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities
medium Nessus Plugin ID 325899
Synopsis
A Python library installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The detected version of the Django Python package is 5.2.x prior to 5.2.16 or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:- django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster over-reads its in-memory buffer when constructed from a bytes object, which can disclose adjacent memory or cause service degradation via a potential segmentation fault when the vsi_buffer property is accessed. (CVE-2026-53877)
- DomainNameValidator does not prohibit newlines in domain names. If an application uses values with newlines in an HTTP response, header injection can occur. (CVE-2026-53878)
- UpdateCacheMiddleware and the cache_page() decorator cache responses that vary on cookies when the incoming request carries unrelated cookies, which allows remote attackers to read private data from the shared cache.
(CVE-2026-48588)
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 5.2.16, 6.0.7 or later.See Also
