Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

SQLAdmin versions before 0.27.1 do not check the sortBy list-view query parameter against column_sortable_list on the server, so a request can sort by any model column, including columns hidden from the list, and by columns of related models through dotted paths. An attacker who can reach the admin list view can use the resulting row order to infer the values of unexposed columns, though the source notes that recovering specific values depends on having a filterable target column. Upgrade to SQLAdmin 0.27.1 or later. The source gives no workaround.
