description

Django REST framework JSONParser in versions 3.6.4 through 3.18.1 can apply a client-selected byte-transform codec while parsing JSON request bodies. An unauthenticated remote client can cause a small request to consume substantial worker memory after Django's upload-size check; a reachable endpoint that accepts JSON is required.

mitigation

Upgrade djangorestframework to version 3.18.2. Restrict exposure of reachable JSON endpoints until the upgrade is deployed.

fixed in 3.18.2
