Django 1.11.23, 2.1.11 and 2.2.4 include a fix for CVE-2019-14234: Due to an error in shallow key transformation, key and index lookups for django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField, and key lookups for django.contrib.postgres.fields.HStoreField, were subject to SQL injection. This could, for example, be exploited via crafted use of "OR 1=1" in a key or index name to return all records, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the **kwargs passed to the QuerySet.filter() function.

========================== *August 1, 2019* Django 2.2.4 fixes security issues and several bugs in 2.2.3. CVE-2019-14232: Denial-of-service possibility in ``django.utils.text.Truncator`` ================================================================================ If ``django.utils.text.Truncator``'s ``chars()`` and ``words()`` methods were passed the ``html=True`` argument, they were extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs due to a catastrophic backtracking vulnerability in a regular expression. The ``chars()`` and ``words()`` methods are used to implement the :tfilter:`truncatechars_html` and :tfilter:`truncatewords_html` template filters, which were thus vulnerable. The regular expressions used by ``Truncator`` have been simplified in order to avoid potential backtracking issues. As a consequence, trailing punctuation may now at times be included in the truncated output. CVE-2019-14233: Denial-of-service possibility in ``strip_tags()`` ================================================================= Due to the behavior of the underlying ``HTMLParser``, :func:`django.utils.html.strip_tags` would be extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities. The ``strip_tags()`` method is used to implement the corresponding :tfilter:`striptags` template filter, which was thus also vulnerable. ``strip_tags()`` now avoids recursive calls to ``HTMLParser`` when progress removing tags, but necessarily incomplete HTML entities, stops being made. Remember that absolutely NO guarantee is provided about the results of ``strip_tags()`` being HTML safe. So NEVER mark safe the result of a ``strip_tags()`` call without escaping it first, for example with :func:`django.utils.html.escape`. CVE-2019-14234: SQL injection possibility in key and index lookups for ``JSONField``/``HStoreField`` ==================================================================================================== :lookup:`Key and index lookups <jsonfield.key>` for :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField` and :lookup:`key lookups <hstorefield.key>` for :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.fields.HStoreField` were subject to SQL injection, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the ``**kwargs`` passed to ``QuerySet.filter()``. CVE-2019-14235: Potential memory exhaustion in ``django.utils.encoding.uri_to_iri()`` ===================================================================================== If passed certain inputs, :func:`django.utils.encoding.uri_to_iri` could lead to significant memory usage due to excessive recursion when re-percent-encoding invalid UTF-8 octet sequences. ``uri_to_iri()`` now avoids recursion when re-percent-encoding invalid UTF-8 octet sequences. Bugfixes ======== * Fixed a regression in Django 2.2 when ordering a ``QuerySet.union()``, ``intersection()``, or ``difference()`` by a field type present more than once results in the wrong ordering being used (:ticket:`30628`). * Fixed a migration crash on PostgreSQL when adding a check constraint with a ``contains`` lookup on :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.fields.DateRangeField` or :class:`~django.contrib.postgres.fields.DateTimeRangeField`, if the right hand side of an expression is the same type (:ticket:`30621`). * Fixed a regression in Django 2.2 where auto-reloader crashes if a file path contains nulls characters (``'x00'``) (:ticket:`30506`). * Fixed a regression in Django 2.2 where auto-reloader crashes if a translation directory cannot be resolved (:ticket:`30647`). ==========================
