Restricted data access via reused widget cache key
Published May 27, 2025 · Updated May 27, 2025
Information disclosure in codingjoe Django-Select2 before 8.4.1 allows remote attackers to access restricted data via leaked widget tokens. HeavySelect2Mixin generated its signed field identifier when a widget instance was initialized, causing a process-reused instance to retain the same cache key across requests instead of creating one for each render. Exploitation requires an affected widget instance to be created during application loading, and successful requests expose cached restricted querysets and their data.
