Technical details
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in Django's FilteredRelation component when used with PostgreSQL. The flaw occurs in column aliases when a suitably crafted dictionary is passed via dictionary expansion (**kwargs) to QuerySet.annotate() or QuerySet.alias(). An attacker can exploit this to manipulate SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data retrieval. The vulnerability is present in Django versions 5.2, 5.1, and 4.2; users are advised to upgrade to versions 5.2.9, 5.1.15, or 4.2.27 respectively. Older unsupported versions like 5.0.x and 3.2.x may also be affected.
