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. Admin changelist forms using `ModelAdmin.list_editable` incorrectly allowed new instances to be created via forged `POST` data.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in certain versions of Django before 6.0.4, 5.2.13, and 4.2.30. It involves the admin changelist forms that use the `ModelAdmin.list_editable` feature. Due to improper handling, these forms incorrectly allowed attackers to create new instances by submitting forged POST data.

Earlier unsupported Django versions such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x may also be affected, although they were not officially evaluated.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an attacker to create unauthorized new instances in the Django admin interface by exploiting the list_editable feature with forged POST requests. This could lead to unauthorized data creation, potentially compromising the integrity of the application's data.
