Machine-written summary

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

sqlparse versions before 0.6.0 are vulnerable to denial of service. A small crafted SQL string with deep nesting can make parsing consume seconds of CPU per request, letting anyone who can submit SQL to the parser tie up workers. Upgrade to sqlparse 0.6.0; until then, avoid parsing untrusted SQL.
