Django 5.0.8 release notes
==========================

*August 6, 2024*

Django 5.0.8 fixes three security issues with severity "moderate", one security
issue with severity "high", and several bugs in 5.0.7.

CVE-2024-41989: Memory exhaustion in ``django.utils.numberformat.floatformat()``
================================================================================

If :tfilter:`floatformat` received a string representation of a number in
scientific notation with a large exponent, it could lead to significant memory
consumption.

To avoid this, decimals with more than 200 digits are now returned as is.

CVE-2024-41990: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ``django.utils.html.urlize()``
===========================================================================================

:tfilter:`urlize` and :tfilter:`urlizetrunc` were subject to a potential
denial-of-service attack via very large inputs with a specific sequence of
characters.

CVE-2024-41991: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ``django.utils.html.urlize()`` and ``AdminURLFieldWidget``
=======================================================================================================================

:tfilter:`urlize`, :tfilter:`urlizetrunc`, and ``AdminURLFieldWidget`` were
subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via certain inputs with a very
large number of Unicode characters.

CVE-2024-42005: Potential SQL injection in ``QuerySet.values()`` and ``values_list()``
======================================================================================

:meth:`.QuerySet.values` and :meth:`~.QuerySet.values_list` methods on models
with a ``JSONField`` were subject to SQL injection in column aliases, via a
crafted JSON object key as a passed ``*arg``.

Bugfixes
========

* Added missing validation for ``UniqueConstraint(nulls_distinct=False)`` when
  using ``*expressions`` (:ticket:`35594`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0 where ``ModelAdmin.action_checkbox`` could
  break the admin changelist HTML page when rendering a model instance with a
  ``__html__`` method (:ticket:`35606`).

* Fixed a crash when creating a model with a ``Field.db_default`` and a
  ``Meta.constraints`` constraint composed of ``__endswith``, ``__startswith``,
  or ``__contains`` lookups (:ticket:`35625`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.0.7 that caused a crash in
  ``LocaleMiddleware`` when processing a language code over 500 characters
  (:ticket:`35627`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 that caused a system check crash when
  ``ModelAdmin.date_hierarchy`` was a ``GeneratedField`` with an
  ``output_field`` of ``DateField`` or ``DateTimeField`` (:ticket:`35628`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.0 which caused constraint validation to either crash
  or incorrectly raise validation errors for constraints referring to fields
  using ``Field.db_default`` (:ticket:`35638`).

* Fixed a crash in Django 5.0 when saving a model containing a ``FileField``
  with a ``db_default`` set (:ticket:`35657`).
