CVE-2026-33034

Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ASGI requests via memory upload limit bypass

Published Apr 7, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
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.
