CVE-2026-114582 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-11-03

Django is a popular Python web framework used to build web applications. The GIS (geographic information system) component fails to restrict GDAL library's file and network access when processing spatial reference strings, allowing attackers to trigger server-side network requests or read local files through crafted spatial reference inputs.

## How to fix

- Fixed in Django 6.1.3, 6.0.10, 5.2.19

## Technical details

The vulnerability exists in django.contrib.gis.gdal.SpatialReference and related transform() methods and srs/srid setters, which do not restrict GDAL's file and network access when parsing string input. An attacker can craft malicious spatial reference strings to trigger server-side requests (SSRF) or local file reads (LFI). The vulnerability affects Django 6.1 before 6.1.3, 6.0 before 6.0.10, and 5.2 before 5.2.19, with potentially unsupported earlier versions also affected.

## Affected products

- Django Software Foundation Django 6.1 before 6.1.3, 6.0 before 6.0.10, 5.2 before 5.2.19, and potentially 5.1.x, 5.0.x, 4.2.x
