Unbounded Memory Load via Content-Length Bypass in Django

Vulnerability report for CVE-2026-33034, including description, CVSS score, EPSS score, affected products, exploitability, helpful resources, and attack-flow context.

Publication date: 2026-04-07

Assigner: Django Software Foundation

Description

An issue was discovered in 6.0 before 6.0.4, 5.2 before 5.2.13, and 4.2 before 4.2.30. ASGI requests with a missing or understated `Content-Length` header could bypass the `DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` limit when reading `HttpRequest.body`, allowing remote attackers to load an unbounded request body into memory. 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 Superior for reporting this issue.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs in certain versions of Django (6.0 before 6.0.4, 5.2 before 5.2.13, and 4.2 before 4.2.30) where ASGI requests with a missing or understated Content-Length header can bypass the DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE limit.

Because of this, remote attackers can send requests with an unbounded request body that gets loaded into memory, potentially causing excessive memory usage.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass memory limits on request bodies, which can lead to excessive memory consumption on the server.

Such excessive memory usage can degrade server performance, cause denial of service by exhausting server resources, or potentially crash the application.
