Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In Django 6.1 before 6.1.2, 6.0 before 6.0.9, and 5.2 before 5.2.18, the function django.utils.translation.get_supported_language_variant() is subject to a potential denial-of-service attack when processing many distinct, very long language codes, which are retained as keys in an in-memory cache and consume process memory.

Risk Assessment
