{"id":"CVE-2019-19118","aliases":["GHSA-hvmf-r92r-27hr","PYSEC-2019-15"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2019-19118","summary":"Django allows unintended model editing","details":"Django 2.1 before 2.1.15 and 2.2 before 2.2.8 allows unintended model editing. A Django model admin displaying inline related models, where the user has view-only permissions to a parent model but edit permissions to the inline model, would be presented with an editing UI, allowing POST requests, for updating the inline model. Directly editing the view-only parent model was not possible, but the parent model's save() method was called, triggering potential side effects, and causing pre and post-save signal handlers to be invoked. (To resolve this, the Django admin is adjusted to require edit permissions on the parent model in order for inline models to be editable.)","published":"2019-12-02T14:15:10.880Z","modified":"2026-07-15T10:14:52.479652334Z","cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"django","fixedVersion":"2.1.15"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"django","fixedVersion":"2.2.8"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/django-announce/GjGqDvtNmWQ"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/6R4HD22PVEVQ45H2JA2NXH443AYJOPL5/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202004-17"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20191217-0003/"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2019/12/02/1"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/security/"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2019/dec/02/security-releases/"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-15T10:14:52.479652334Z"}}
