Updates to Django
Hello there 👋 Today 'Updates to Django' is presented by Raffaella from Djangonaut Space! 🚀
Last week we had 11 pull requests merged into Django by 10 different contributors - including 2 first-time contributors! Congratulations to myoungjinGo and Blayze for having their first commits merged into Django - welcome on board!
Fixes from last week include:
- A log injection possibility: the remaining response logging is migrated to
django.utils.log.log_response(), which safely escapes arguments such as the request path to prevent unsafe log output (CVE-2025-48432). This is released within 5.2.3, 5.1.11, and 4.2.23. - An issue where
bulk_create()would raise anIntegrityErrordue tonullvalues in the_ordercolumn when used with models havingorder_with_respect_toMeta option is now fixed. The fix ensures proper order values are assigned to objects during bulk creation. Special thanks to myoungjinGo for the first contribution and the long work on the PR, and to everyone who helped with the review 🥳
