{"id":"CVE-2026-15920","published":"2026-08-04T17:16:46.733","lastModified":"2026-08-04T18:16:45.087","description":"An issue was discovered in Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 6.0 before 6.0.8.\n`django.contrib.admin.utils.display_for_field()` renders `URLField` values as clickable links in the admin without validating the URL. A value stored with an unsafe scheme is displayed as a link on changelist and read-only admin pages, which allows cross-site scripting against staff users who click the link.\r\nExploitation requires the unsafe value to already be stored in the database. `URLField` validation through a `ModelForm` or the admin rejects unsafe schemes, so this affects applications that persist `URLField` data without running model validation, for example through direct queryset writes, deserialization, or bulk import of untrusted input.\nDjango would like to thank Egor Saltykov for reporting this issue.","cvssScore":6.1,"cvssSeverity":"MEDIUM","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","cwes":["CWE-83"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/security/","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/django/django/commit/13debb622a32720bda1bccda7622fd14fbf3931b","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/django/django/commit/47511a21026cdd721d8fbf8571cc079bc38bb46d","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/django/django/commit/5a260d309a4c8010c2ebda24eb758a5d95e2508a","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/django/django/commit/b9adb81339cc418f8f56b1050cca6dfec3ab6349","tags":[]},{"url":"https://groups.google.com/g/django-announce","tags":[]},{"url":"https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2026/aug/04/security-releases/","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[{"url":"https://github.com/django/django/commit/13debb622a32720bda1bccda7622fd14fbf3931b","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/django/django/commit/47511a21026cdd721d8fbf8571cc079bc38bb46d","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/django/django/commit/5a260d309a4c8010c2ebda24eb758a5d95e2508a","tags":[]},{"url":"https://github.com/django/django/commit/b9adb81339cc418f8f56b1050cca6dfec3ab6349","tags":[]}],"hasPoc":true,"ai":null}
