An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.4, 5.0 before 5.0.10, and 4.2 before 4.2.17. Direct usage of the django.db.models.fields.json.HasKey lookup, when an Oracle database is used, is subject to SQL injection if untrusted data is used as an lhs value. (Applications that use the jsonfield.has_key lookup via __ are unaffected.)

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7136-1 advisory.

    jiangniao discovered that Django incorrectly handled the API to strip tags. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause Django to consume resources, leading to a denial of service.
    (CVE-2024-53907)

    Seokchan Yoon discovered that Django incorrectly handled HasKey lookups when using Oracle. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary SQL code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04     LTS and Ubuntu 24.10. (CVE-2024-53908)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
