# Django 5.2.13 release notes

April 7, 2026

Django 5.2.13 fixes one security issue with severity « moderate » and four security issues with severity « low » in 5.2.12.

## CVE-2026-3902: ASGI header spoofing via underscore/hyphen conflation

`ASGIRequest` normalizes header names following WSGI conventions, mapping hyphens to underscores. As a result, even in configurations where reverse proxies carefully strip security-sensitive headers named with hyphens, such a header could be spoofed by supplying a header named with underscores.

Under WSGI, it is the responsibility of the server or proxy to avoid ambiguous mappings. (Django’s `runserver` was patched in CVE 2015-0219.) But under ASGI, there is not the same uniform expectation, even if many proxies protect against this under default configuration (including `nginx` via `underscores_in_headers off;`).

Headers containing underscores are now ignored by `ASGIRequest`, matching the behavior of Daphne, the reference server for ASGI.

This issue has severity « low » according to the Django security policy.

## CVE-2026-4277: Privilege abuse in `GenericInlineModelAdmin`

Add permissions on inline model instances were not validated on submission of forged `POST` data in `GenericInlineModelAdmin`.

This issue has severity « low » according to the Django security policy.

## CVE-2026-4292: Privilege abuse in `ModelAdmin.list_editable`

Admin changelist forms using `list_editable` incorrectly allowed new instances to be created via forged `POST` data.

This issue has severity « low » according to the Django security policy.

## CVE-2026-33033: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in `MultiPartParser` via base64-encoded file upload

When using `django.http.multipartparser.MultiPartParser`, multipart uploads with `Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64` that include excessive whitespace may trigger repeated memory copying, potentially degrading performance.

This issue has severity « moderate » according to the Django security policy.

## CVE-2026-33034: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ASGI requests via memory upload limit bypass

ASGI requests with a missing or understated `Content-Length` header could bypass the `DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` limit when reading `HttpRequest.body`, potentially loading an unbounded request body into memory and causing service degradation.

This issue has severity « low » according to the Django security policy.
