Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 12, 2026
SQL injection in Django's QuerySet.order_by() method allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands through specially crafted column aliases containing periods when used with FilteredRelation and dictionary expansion. This vulnerability affects Django versions 6.0 before 6.0.2, 5.2 before 5.2.11, and 4.2 before 4.2.28, with potentially older unsupported versions also impacted. Patches are available for all affected versions.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
An issue was discovered in 6.0 before 6.0.2, 5.2 before 5.2.11, and 4.2 before 4.2.28. .QuerySet.order_by() is subject to SQL injection in column aliases containing periods when the same alias is, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, used in FilteredRelation. [CVSS 5.4 MEDIUM]
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available — apply it immediately. Use parameterized queries. Implement input validation. Restrict network access to the affected service where possible.
