{"id":"CVE-2024-39317","aliases":["GHSA-jmp3-39vp-fwg8","PYSEC-2024-86"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2024-39317","summary":"Wagtail regular expression denial-of-service via search query parsing","details":"Wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django. A bug in Wagtail's `parse_query_string` would result in it taking a long time to process suitably crafted inputs. When used to parse sufficiently long strings of characters without a space, `parse_query_string` would take an unexpectedly large amount of time to process, resulting in a denial of service. In an initial Wagtail installation, the vulnerability can be exploited by any Wagtail admin user. It cannot be exploited by end users. If your Wagtail site has a custom search implementation which uses `parse_query_string`, it may be exploitable by other users (e.g. unauthenticated users). Patched versions have been released as Wagtail 5.2.6, 6.0.6 and 6.1.3.\n","published":"2024-07-11T15:23:22.307Z","modified":"2026-07-15T01:49:06.331069551Z","cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"wagtail","fixedVersion":"6.0.6"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"wagtail","fixedVersion":"6.1.3"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"wagtail","fixedVersion":"5.2.6"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/commit/31b1e8532dfb1b70d8d37d22aff9cbde9109cdf2","label":"wagtail/wagtail@31b1e85"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/39xxx/CVE-2024-39317.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/security/advisories/GHSA-jmp3-39vp-fwg8"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-39317"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/commit/31b1e8532dfb1b70d8d37d22aff9cbde9109cdf2"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/commit/3c941136f79c48446e3858df46e5b668d7f83797"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/commit/b783c096b6d4fd2cfc05f9137a0be288850e99a2"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-15T01:49:06.331069551Z"}}
