CVE-2026-113593 Details
Description
An issue was discovered in Django 6.1 before 6.1.3, 6.0 before 6.0.10, and 5.2 before 5.2.19. The `django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware` and the `django.views.decorators.cache.cache_page()` decorator generate identical cache keys for requests that omit a header listed in the response’s `Vary` header and requests that include that header with an empty value, potentially allowing remote attackers to access private data cached for another request. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.1.x, 5.0.x, and 4.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected. Django would like to thank Andrew Gonzalez for reporting this issue.
A vulnerability exists in Django versions 6.1 prior to 6.1.3, 6.0 prior to 6.0.10, and 5.2 prior to 5.2.19. The issue arises in the `UpdateCacheMiddleware` and the `cache_page` decorator, which create identical cache keys for requests that either omit a specified header or include it with an empty value. This could allow remote attackers to access private data cached from other requests. Unsupported Django versions (like 5.1.x, 5.0.x, and 4.2.x) may also be affected.
Users can upgrade to Django versions 6.1.3, 6.0.10, or 5.2.19 to address this vulnerability.
