February 3, 2026

Django 4.2.28 fixes three security issues with severity «high», two security issues with severity «moderate», and one security issue with severity «low» in 4.2.27.

## CVE-2025-13473: Username enumeration through timing difference in mod_wsgi authentication handler

The `django.contrib.auth.handlers.modwsgi.check_password()` function for authentication via mod_wsgi allowed remote attackers to enumerate users via a timing attack.

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

## CVE-2025-14550: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability via repeated headers when using ASGI

When receiving duplicates of a single header, `ASGIRequest` allowed a remote attacker to cause a potential denial-of-service via a specifically created request with multiple duplicate headers. The vulnerability resulted from repeated string concatenation while combining repeated headers, which produced super-linear computation resulting in service degradation or outage.

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

## CVE-2026-1207: Potential SQL injection via raster lookups on PostGIS

Raster lookups on GIS fields (only implemented on PostGIS) were subject to SQL injection if untrusted data was used as a band index.

As a reminder, all untrusted user input should be validated before use.

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

## CVE-2026-1285: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in `django.utils.text.Truncator` HTML methods

`django.utils.text.Truncator.chars()` and `Truncator.words()` methods (with `html=True`) and the `truncatechars_html` and `truncatewords_html` template filters were subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via certain inputs with a large number of unmatched HTML end tags, which could cause quadratic time complexity during HTML parsing.

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

## CVE-2026-1287: Potential SQL injection in column aliases via control characters

`FilteredRelation` was subject to SQL injection in column aliases via control characters, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the `**kwargs` passed to `QuerySet.annotate()`, `aggregate()`, `extra()`, `values()`, `values_list()`, and `alias()`.

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

## CVE-2026-1312: Potential SQL injection via `QuerySet.order_by` and `FilteredRelation`

`QuerySet.order_by()` was subject to SQL injection in column aliases containing periods when the same alias was, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, used in `FilteredRelation`.

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