What is CVE-2024-39330?
CVE-2024-39330 is a medium-severity path traversal vulnerability in Djangoproject Django, published on 10 Jul 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
An issue was discovered in Django 5.0 before 5.0.7 and 4.2 before 4.2.14. Derived classes of the django.core.files.storage.Storage base class, when they override generate_filename() without replicating the file-path validations from the parent class, potentially allow directory traversal via certain inputs during a save() call. (Built-in Storage sub-classes are unaffected.)
Weakness: CWE-22
