SQL injection via misclassified dotted aliases
Published Feb 3, 2026 · Updated Feb 3, 2026
SQL injection in Django 4.2 before 4.2.28, 5.2 before 5.2.11, and 6.0 before 6.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to alter SQL queries. QuerySet.order_by treats a dotted alias as a raw table-and-column pair even when extra did not supply it, bypassing normal alias resolution. Exploitation requires application code to expand an attacker-controlled dictionary into FilteredRelation and order by the same alias; database data can be read or altered within the query's permissions.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=4.2 <4.2.28
- Affected versionversion=5.2 <5.2.11
- Affected versionversion=6.0 <6.0.2
