DescriptionCVE.org

Django REST framework is a toolkit for building Web APIs. Prior to 3.17.2, Django REST Framework's request.data parsing in rest_framework/request.py Request._parse() passes the underlying HttpRequest stream to JSONParser and FormParser for application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies, bypassing Django's DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE protection and allowing oversized request bodies to consume additional memory and CPU. This issue is fixed in version 3.17.2.

AnalysisAI

Uncontrolled resource consumption in Django REST Framework prior to 3.17.2 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exhaust server memory and CPU by sending arbitrarily large request bodies via application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded content types. The framework's Request._parse() method passes the raw HttpRequest stream directly to JSONParser and FormParser, silently bypassing Django's built-in DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE guard. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Send oversized POST body to DRF endpoint
Delivery
Bypass DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE guard in Request._parse()
Exploit
Force unbounded memory allocation per request
Execution
Repeat at volume to exhaust server resources
Impact
Degrade or deny service

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation No special conditions or non-default configuration are required beyond a network-accessible DRF endpoint that accepts POST requests with application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded content types - both of which are DRF defaults. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) accurately characterizes this as a low-complexity, network-reachable, unauthenticated availability issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker identifies a DRF-backed API endpoint that accepts POST requests with application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded content types. The attacker sends a continuous stream of requests each carrying a maximally large request body, causing the DRF Request._parse() method to allocate unbounded memory for each request before Django's size guard can intervene. …
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade Django REST Framework to version 3.17.2 or later, which is confirmed as the vendor-released patch per the GitHub security advisory (https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/security/advisories/GHSA-2m8g-3cmr-wg3w) and the merged PR at https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/pull/10013. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
