Django 5.2.7 release notes¶

CVE-2025-59681: Potential SQL injection in QuerySet.annotate(), alias(), aggregate(), and extra() on MySQL and MariaDB¶

QuerySet.annotate(), alias(), aggregate(), and extra() methods were subject to SQL injection in column aliases, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the **kwargs passed to these methods (follow up to CVE 2022-28346).

CVE-2025-59682: Potential partial directory-traversal via archive.extract()¶

The django.utils.archive.extract() function, used by startapp --template and startproject --template, allowed partial directory-traversal via an archive with file paths sharing a common prefix with the target directory (follow up to CVE 2021-3281).

Bugfixes¶

• Fixed a regression in Django 5.2 that reduced the color contrast of the chosen label of filter_horizontal and filter_vertical widgets within a TabularInline (#36601).
