CVE-2024-39330

• Severity: medium (CVSS 4.3 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 1.0% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2024-07-10 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-22

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.)

Affected products

• Django: from 4.2 before 4.2.14; from 5.0 before 5.0.7 — fixed in 4.2.14, 5.0.7

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Django 4.2.14, 5.0.7. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
