Django's django.contrib.gis.gdal.SpatialReference does not restrict GDAL file or network access when parsing spatial reference strings. Attackers can trigger server-side requests or local file reads with crafted input. This affects Django 6.1 before 6.1.3, 6.0 before 6.0.10, and 5.2 before 5.2.19. Earlier unsupported series may also be vulnerable.

What to do: Upgrade to Django 6.1.3, 6.0.10, or 5.2.19.

Description · NVD

An issue was discovered in Django 6.1 before 6.1.3, 6.0 before 6.0.10, and 5.2 before 5.2.19. `django.contrib.gis.gdal.SpatialReference` (and related `transform()` methods and `srs`/`srid` setters) do not restrict GDAL’s file and network access when parsing string input, which allows attackers to trigger server-side requests or local file reads via crafted spatial reference strings. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.1.x, 5.0.x, and 4.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected. Django would like to thank Adraca for reporting this issue.
