NewCVE-2026-73228 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade djangorestframework to version 3.17.2 or higher.
Overview
djangorestframework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input through Request._parse in rest_framework/request.py. An attacker can make request.data accept oversized application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies by sending a large request to a DRF endpoint. Because DRF parses those bodies directly from the underlying request stream, applications that rely on Django’s upload-size limit can consume excess memory and CPU while processing requests that Django’s request.body or native form parsing would reject.
