CVE-2026-111211: Django log injection in BaseGeometryWidget.deserialize()

CVE-2026-111211 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-11-03

Django is a Python web framework used to build web applications. The geographic information system (GIS) forms component fails to escape invalid geometry values before logging them, allowing remote attackers to inject forged or malicious log entries by submitting crafted geometry data. This enables attackers to pollute application logs with false entries, potentially covering up other activity or deceiving administrators reviewing logs.

Technologies: Django Software Foundation Django. Vendors: Django Software Foundation.

Technical details

The vulnerability exists in django.contrib.gis.forms.widgets.BaseGeometryWidget.deserialize(), which is called by django.contrib.gis.forms.GeometryField when processing form submissions. Invalid submitted geometry values are logged without proper escaping, enabling log injection. An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit a crafted geometry value via a network request to inject or forge arbitrary log entries.
