{"id":"CVE-2026-73228","summary":"Django REST framework: Potential bypass of Django `DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` when parsing oversized JSON and urlencoded request bodies via DRF `request.data`","details":"Django REST framework is a toolkit for building Web APIs. Prior to 3.17.2, Django REST Framework's request.data parsing in rest_framework/request.py Request._parse() passes the underlying HttpRequest stream to JSONParser and FormParser for application/json and application/x-www-form-urlencoded bodies, bypassing Django's DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE protection and allowing oversized request bodies to consume additional memory and CPU. This issue is fixed in version 3.17.2.","aliases":["GHSA-2m8g-3cmr-wg3w"],"modified":"2026-09-03T16:25:59.154140621Z","published":"2026-08-11T18:54:16.694Z","related":["CGA-4j68-xv8v-4hw6","openSUSE-SU-2026:11625-1"],"database_specific":{"cna_assigner":"GitHub_M","cwe_ids":["CWE-400","CWE-770"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/73xxx/CVE-2026-73228.json"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/73xxx/CVE-2026-73228.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/security/advisories/GHSA-2m8g-3cmr-wg3w"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-73228"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/commit/2912dc98042f78e27636551fc22eeaf10f725fdd"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/commit/82ef7b7e4e0a73ba5c489b465fae7e76d948da4e"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/pull/10013"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"2912dc98042f78e27636551fc22eeaf10f725fdd"},{"fixed":"82ef7b7e4e0a73ba5c489b465fae7e76d948da4e"}],"database_specific":{"source":["AFFECTED_FIELD","REFERENCES"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.17.2"}]}}],"versions":["3.17.1","3.17.0","3.16.1","3.16.0","3.15.2","3.15.1","3.15.0","3.14.0","3.13.1","3.13.0","3.12.4","3.12.3","3.12.1","3.12.0","3.11.0","3.10.3","3.10.2","3.10.1","3.10.0","3.9.3","3.9.2","3.9.1","3.8.2","3.8.1","3.8.0","3.7.7","3.7.6","3.7.5","3.7.4","3.7.3","3.7.2","3.7.1","3.7.0","3.6.4","3.6.3","3.6.2","3.6.1","3.6.0","3.5.4","3.5.3","3.5.2","3.5.1","3.5.0","3.4.7","3.4.6","3.4.5","3.4.4","3.4.3","3.4.2","3.4.1","3.4.0","3.3.2","3.3.1","3.2.4","3.2.3","3.2.2","3.2.1","3.2.0","3.1.3","3.1.2","3.1.1","3.1.0","3.0.5","3.0.3","3.0.4","3.0.2","3.0.1","3.0.0","2.4.4","2.4.3","2.4.2","2.4.1","2.4.0","2.3.14","2.3.13","2.3.12","2.3.11","2.3.10","2.3.9","2.3.8","2.3.7","2.3.6","2.3.5","2.3.4","2.3.3","2.3.2","2.3.1","2.3.0","2.2.7","2.2.6","2.2.4","2.2.3","2.2.2","2.2.1","2.2.0","2.1.17","2.1.16","2.1.15","2.1.14","2.1.13","2.1.12","2.1.11","2.1.10","2.1.9","2.1.8","2.1.7","2.1.6","2.1.5","2.1.4","2.1.3","2.1.2","2.1.1","2.1.0","2.0.2","2.0.1","2.0.0","0.4.0","0.3.3","0.3.2","0.3.1","0.2.4","0.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-73228.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
