CVE-2026-73229: Encode Django-Rest-Framework

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Django REST framework is a powerful and flexible toolkit for building Web APIs. Prior to 3.17.2, Django REST Framework's rest_framework/renderers.py AdminRenderer.render() uses override_method() to simulate GET and directly invokes view.get() without view.check_permissions() while rendering an invalid write request, allowing a 400 Bad Request HTML response to disclose data from a GET representation that the requester is not permitted to access. This issue is fixed in version 3.17.2.

Affected products

  • Encode Django-Rest-Framework: before 3.17.2 (fixed in 3.17.2)
