What is CVE-2026-33034?
CVE-2026-33034 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in Djangoproject Django, published on 7 Apr 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
An issue was discovered in 6.0 before 6.0.4, 5.2 before 5.2.13, and 4.2 before 4.2.30. ASGI requests with a missing or understated `Content-Length` header could bypass the `DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` limit when reading `HttpRequest.body`, allowing remote attackers to load an unbounded request body into memory. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected. Django would like to thank Superior for reporting this issue.
Weakness: CWE-770
