Machine-written summary

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

Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and Django 6.0 before 6.0.8 are vulnerable. An attacker who can supply a value to a spatial lookup on a GeometryField or RasterField, such as a staff user with view permission filtering through the admin changelist, can cause files to be written through GDAL or trigger outbound network requests. Writing a file to a location the application later imports can lead to remote code execution. Upgrade to Django 5.2.17 or 6.0.8. Earlier unsupported series were not evaluated and may also be affected.
