CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedDjango versions 6.0 prior to 6.0.7 and 5.2 prior to 5.2.16 are vulnerable due to the `UpdateCacheMiddleware` and `cache_page()` decorator improperly caching responses that vary based on cookies, potentially allowing remote attackers to access private data from the shared cache. Organizations using these Django versions, especially those handling sensitive user data, should prioritize updating to mitigate the risk of data exposure. Additionally, users of earlier unsupported Django series may also be at risk and should assess their environments accordingly.
Original NVD Description
An issue was discovered in Django 6.0 before 6.0.7 and 5.2 before 5.2.16. `UpdateCacheMiddleware` and the `cache_page()` decorator cache responses that vary on cookies when the incoming request carries unrelated cookies, which allows remote attackers to read private data from the shared cache. 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 Chris Whyland for reporting this issue.
