{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2025-64460","details":"An issue was discovered in 5.2 before 5.2.9, 5.1 before 5.1.15, and 4.2 before 4.2.27. Algorithmic complexity in `django.core.serializers.xml_serializer.getInnerText()` allows a remote attacker to cause a potential denial-of-service attack triggering CPU and memory exhaustion via specially crafted XML input processed by the XML `Deserializer`. 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 Seokchan Yoon for reporting this issue.","modified":"2026-09-01T16:06:20.548413354Z","published":"2025-12-02T16:15:56.013Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-64460"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2025-64460"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"python-django","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/python-django?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3:3.2.25-0+deb12u1"}]}],"versions":["3:3.2.19-1","3:3.2.19-1+deb12u1","3:3.2.19-1+deb12u1~bpo11+1","3:3.2.19-1+deb12u2","3:3.2.20-1","3:3.2.20-1.1","3:3.2.21-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2025-64460.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-django","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/python-django?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3:4.2.27-0+deb13u1"}]}],"versions":["3:4.2.23-1","3:4.2.24-1","3:4.2.25-1","3:4.2.25-2","3:4.2.26-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2025-64460.json"}},{"package":{"name":"python-django","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/python-django?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3:4.2.27-1"}]}],"versions":["3:4.2.23-1","3:4.2.24-1","3:4.2.25-1","3:4.2.25-2","3:4.2.26-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2025-64460.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
