This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems. ## Description 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`. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected. Django would like to thank Solomon Kebede for reporting this issue. ## Affected Packages 3 total 3 fixed Ecosystem Package Vulnerable range Fix 🐍PyPI `django` ≥ 6.0a1&&< 6.0.2 6.0.2`pip install --upgrade 'django==6.0.2'` 🐍PyPI `django` ≥ 5.2a1&&< 5.2.11 5.2.11`pip install --upgrade 'django==5.2.11'` 🐍PyPI `django` ≥ 4.2a1&&< 4.2.28 4.2.28`pip install --upgrade 'django==4.2.28'` ## Affected Products 1 product · 3 configurations Application `django`djangoproject ≥ 6.0 && < 6.0.2 range ## Detection & mitigation playbook Open-source dependency 1. ### Detect Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for django, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version. 2. ### Fix Update django to 6.0.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2026-1312 is resolved across your whole dependency graph. 3. ### Workarounds Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs. ## Fixing This On Your OS If you run this on a Linux distribution, patch through your package manager against the distro's own security advisory below — it tracks the exact backported fix for your release, which can ship on a different timeline (and sometimes a different severity) than the upstream project. Red HatImportant This IMPORTANT vulnerability in Django allows for SQL injection within the \`QuerySet.order\_by()\` method. A remote attacker could exploit this by providing crafted column aliases that include periods, specifically when used with \`FilteredRelation\`. Successful exploitation may result in unauthorized information… Workaround published by Red Hat > Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
