{"cve":"CVE-2024-39317","nvd":{"published":"2024-07-11T16:15:02.477","modified":"2026-06-17T07:41:42.190","status":"Analyzed","description":"Wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django. A bug in Wagtail's `parse_query_string` would result in it taking a long time to process suitably crafted inputs. When used to parse sufficiently long strings of characters without a space, `parse_query_string` would take an unexpectedly large amount of time to process, resulting in a denial of service. In an initial Wagtail installation, the vulnerability can be exploited by any Wagtail admin user. It cannot be exploited by end users. If your Wagtail site has a custom search implementation which uses `parse_query_string`, it may be exploitable by other users (e.g. unauthenticated users). Patched versions have been released as Wagtail 5.2.6, 6.0.6 and 6.1.3.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":4.9},"cwes":["CWE-1333"],"references":["https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/commit/31b1e8532dfb1b70d8d37d22aff9cbde9109cdf2","https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/commit/3c941136f79c48446e3858df46e5b668d7f83797","https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/commit/b783c096b6d4fd2cfc05f9137a0be288850e99a2","https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/security/advisories/GHSA-jmp3-39vp-fwg8","https://github.com/wagtail/wagtail/commit/31b1e8532dfb1b70d8d37d22aff9cbde9109cdf2"],"products":["torchbox:wagtail"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:52:42.518321223+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2024-39317","score":0.00615,"percentile":0.49484,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-jmp3-39vp-fwg8","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-jmp3-39vp-fwg8","summary":"Wagtail regular expression denial-of-service via search query parsing","modified":"2026-06-09T13:15:18.086289805Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","ranges":[">=6.0 <6.0.6"],"fixed":["6.0.6"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","ranges":[">=6.1 <6.1.3"],"fixed":["6.1.3"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","ranges":[">=2.0 <5.2.6"],"fixed":["5.2.6"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2024-86","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2024-86","summary":"","modified":"2026-06-08T11:15:06.450810372Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"wagtail","purl":"pkg:pypi/wagtail","ranges":[">=6.0 <6.0.6",">=6.1 <6.1.3",">=2.0 <5.2.6"],"fixed":["6.0.6","6.1.3","5.2.6"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
