NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3-django package and not the py3-django package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.22 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in Django 4.2 before 4.2.25, 5.1 before 5.1.13, and 5.2 before 5.2.7. The django.utils.archive.extract() function, used by the "startapp --template" and "startproject --template" commands, allows partial directory traversal via an archive with file paths sharing a common prefix with the target directory.
