CVE-2026-48588

An issue was discovered in Django 6.0 before 6.0.7 and 5.2 before 5.2.16. `UpdateCacheMiddleware` and the `cache_page()` decorator cache responses that vary on cookies when the incoming request carries unrelated cookies, which allows remote attackers to read private data from the shared cache. Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected. Django would like to thank Chris Whyland for reporting this issue.

Summary		(es) Se descubrió un problema en Django 6.0 anterior a 6.0.7 y 5.2 anterior a 5.2.16. ’UpdateCacheMiddleware’ y el decorador ’cache_page()’ almacenan en caché respuestas que varían según las cookies cuando la solicitud entrante lleva cookies no relacionadas, lo que permite a atacantes remotos leer datos privados de la caché compartida. Series de Django anteriores y sin soporte (como 5.0.x, 4.1.x y 3.2.x) no fueron evaluadas y también podrían estar afectadas. Django desea agradecer a Chris Whyland por informar sobre este problema.
