How to fix?

Upgrade Django to version 5.2.19, 6.0.10, 6.1.3 or higher.

Overview

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in the _parse method of MultiPartParser in django/http/multipartparser.py. An attacker can exhaust server memory by sending a multipart upload with Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 whose data does not align to a 4-byte boundary, so the parser reads the entire upload into memory rather than honoring FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE. The impact is denial of service through memory exhaustion, reachable on any endpoint that accepts multipart file uploads.
