What is CVE-2021-35042?

A vulnerability exists in the Django web framework that allows SQL injection through unsanitized input in the QuerySet.order_by method. When a web application uses client-supplied input to construct queries without proper validation or sanitization, it opens the door for attackers to manipulate the order of query results, leading to unauthorized data access or modification.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
