How to Fix CVE-2021-30459
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Django debug toolbar dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install django-debug-toolbar>=1.11.1
pip install django-debug-toolbar>=2.2.1
pip install django-debug-toolbar>=3.2.1
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show django-debug-toolbar
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2021-30459, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show django-debug-toolbar
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Django debug toolbar in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.11.1), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show django-debug-toolbar command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an sql command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended sql command when it is sent to a downstream component. without sufficient removal or quoting of sql syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated sql query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as sql instead of ordinary user data. In Django debug toolbar, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.
