# CVE-2024-42005: Django SQL injection vulnerability

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 1.5% , percentile 74: FIRST’s model estimates a 1.5% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 74% of all scored CVEs (moderate). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes Django (PyPI) >= 5.0, < 5.0.8, fixed in 5.0.8 ; Django (PyPI) >= 4.2, < 4.2.15, fixed in 4.2.15 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

An issue was discovered in Django 5.0 before 5.0.8 and 4.2 before 4.2.15. QuerySet.values() and valueslist() methods on models with a JSONField are subject to SQL injection in column aliases via a crafted JSON object key as a passed arg.

## Affected packages

- PyPI `Django` >= 5.0, < 5.0.8 → fixed: 5.0.8
- PyPI `Django` >= 4.2, < 4.2.15 → fixed: 4.2.15

## Affected products (CVE record)

- n/a n/a: see advisory

## Severity

- CISA-ADP CVSS 3.1: 9.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 4.0: 9.3 `CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable yes , technical impact total .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 1.50% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 74.
