AI-suggested
A patch is available in djust version 1.0.7 that fixes the vulnerability by enforcing a fail-closed import allowlist and restricting imports to already loaded modules or explicitly allowed modules. Users should upgrade to version 1.0.7 or later. As a workaround before patching, set LIVEVIEW_ALLOWED_MODULES to a narrow list of modules containing mountable LiveView classes, though this is only a mitigation and not a complete fix.
Description
The djust framework has an unauthenticated arbitrary module import vulnerability (CVE-2026-61599) in its WebSocket/SSE view-mount path. An unauthenticated client can specify any importable Python module path, causing the server to import and execute the module's top-level code before any authentication or subclass checks occur. This leads to potential remote code execution by proxy, denial of service, and module enumeration. The issue is fixed in version 1.0.7 by enforcing a fail-closed import allowlist and restricting imports to already loaded modules or explicitly allowed modules.
