CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Django REST Framework versions prior to 3.17.2 are vulnerable due to improper handling of request body sizes, which allows oversized application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded requests to bypass the DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE limit. This can lead to excessive memory and CPU consumption, potentially resulting in denial-of-service conditions. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize upgrading to 3.17.2 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
Django REST framework is a toolkit for building Web APIs. Prior to 3.17.2, Django REST Framework's request.data parsing in rest_framework/request.py Request._parse() passes the underlying HttpRequest stream to JSONParser and FormParser for application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies, bypassing Django's DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE protection and allowing oversized request bodies to consume additional memory and CPU. This issue is fixed in version 3.17.2.
