News Django security releases issued: 6.1.3, 6.0.10, and 5.2.19 Six CVEs, three of them in GeoDjango: two server-side request forgery holes where GDAL resolved URLs or files from GeoJSON CRS members and SpatialReference strings (full protection needs GDAL 3.9+, flagged by the new gis.W001 check), plus log injection through GeometryField. The rest cover base64 uploads that ignored FILE_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE, cache keys that confused missing and empty Vary headers, and password hashes shown to …

News Python 3.15.2, 3.14.10, 3.13.18, 3.12.16, and 3.11.18 are out A second round of expedited security releases, five days after the last: the ssl module now blocks the compromised eMudhra intermediate CA keys outright, so pip is protected even before you upgrade it. They also fix a tarfile.tar_filter bypass using links that replace the destination and reject negative-version cookies in http.cookiejar. Announcing PSF Community Service Award Recipients!

News Python 3.15.1, 3.14.9 and 3.13.17 are now available Expedited security releases on October 21, carrying pip 26.2.2 and certifi 2026.10.19 to drop the compromised eMudhra CA. 3.13 is the odd one out: it had just entered security-only mode, where pip is not normally updated, so the team cut fresh installers anyway. 3.15.1 is also 3.15's first maintenance release, with roughly 330 fixes from 117 contributors. Information for Python users regarding the eMudhra / emSign CA certificate security …

News Django security releases issued: 6.1.2, 6.0.9, and 5.2.18 Four CVEs fixed: denial-of-service risks in language-code lookups and HTTP header parsing, spatial lookups that could make GDAL fetch external rasters, and model formsets with editable primary keys that forged POST data could use to delete or create instances. Raster bytes passed to spatial lookups must now be wrapped in GDALRaster, a backward-incompatible change, so upgrade and check your GIS code. Welcome to Session 7 Teams 👩🏽🚀 D…
