      "value": "Django REST framework is a toolkit for building Web APIs. From 3.6.4 until 3.18.2, JSONParser.parse in rest_framework/parsers.py uses the client-supplied Content-Type charset value with codecs.getreader, which accepts byte-transform codecs such as bz2_codec rather than only text encodings. A remote unauthenticated client can therefore cause a compressed JSON request body to be expanded after Django has enforced DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE against only the wire bytes, allowing a very small request to consume substantial per-worker memory. The default parser set is sufficient, and any reachable endpoint that accepts a JSON body is affected. This issue is fixed in version 3.18.2."

  "details": "### Summary\n\nAn unauthenticated attacker can defeat Django\u0027s `DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` limit and force a\nworker process to allocate arbitrary memory, by naming a compression codec in the Content-Type\ncharset parameter. A 108-byte request body produces a 50,331,648-character value inside the view, an\namplification factor of 466,033, and grows process peak RSS by about 97 MiB. No application\nconfiguration is required beyond DRF\u0027s default parser set; the endpoint only has to accept a JSON\nbody.\n\n### Details\n\n`JSONParser.parse` decodes the request body with the charset the client supplied on the Content-Type\nheader:\n\n```python\n# rest_framework/parsers.py\nencoding = parser_context.get(\u0027encoding\u0027, settings.DEFAULT_CHARSET)\ntry:\n    decoded_stream = codecs.getreader(encoding)(stream)\n    parse_constant = json.strict_constant if self.strict else None\n    return json.load(decoded_stream, parse_constant=parse_constant)\nexcept ValueError as exc:\n    raise ParseError(\u0027JSON parse error - %s\u0027 % str(exc))\n```\n\nOf the roughly 455 codec names `codecs.lookup` resolves on CPython 3.14, about 18 are byte transforms\ninstead of character sets: `bz2_codec`, `zlib_codec`, `base64_codec`, `hex_codec`, `quopri_codec`,\n`uu_codec` and similar. `codecs.getreader` is the only entry point in the `codecs` module that does\nnot consult `CodecInfo._is_text_encoding`, so it accepts all of them. Sending\n`Content-Type: application/json; charset=bz2_codec` wraps the request stream in a bz2 decompressor\nbefore `json.load` reads it.\n\nThe ordering is what makes this exploitable. Django charges `DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE` against the\nbytes that arrived on the wire: `rest_framework/request.py` hands `JSONParser` an\n`io.BytesIO(self.body)`, and `HttpRequest.body` is where `_check_data_too_big()` runs. Decompression\nhappens afterwards, inside the parser, where nothing is counting.\n\nThis is DRF\u0027s defect and not Django\u0027s. Django resolves the charset parameter and assigns\n`request.encoding`, and `codecs.lookup` does resolve byte transforms, but every Django consumer of\n`request.encoding` goes through the text-codec API and fails closed. Both `bytes.decode(\u0027bz2_codec\u0027)`\nand `str(raw, \u0027bz2_codec\u0027)` raise\n`LookupError: \u0027bz2_codec\u0027 is not a text encoding; use codecs.decode() to handle arbitrary codecs`.\nDRF is the only caller that hands the request stream to `codecs.getreader`.\n\n`FormParser` (`parsers.py:84`) and `MultiPartParser` (`parsers.py:104-118`) take the same client-named\nencoding but fail closed instead of amplifying.\n\nThe sink was introduced by `9a228116` (PR #5147, 2017-05-24, \"Improve memory footprint when reading\nlarge JSON requests\"), first released in 3.6.4. The final comment on that PR observes the intended\nmemory gain does not hold because `read()` decodes the whole stream, which is the same property that\nmakes this expansion unbounded. No `_is_text_encoding` check has been added since.\n\nA one-line fix at `parsers.py:61-64`:\n\n```python\nif not codecs.lookup(encoding)._is_text_encoding:\n    raise ParseError(\u0027Unsupported charset in Content-Type\u0027)\n```\n\n### PoC\n\nSave as `poc_charset_amplification.py` and run it. It builds its own payloads, runs each arm in a\nfresh subprocess (peak RSS is a high-water mark, so measuring several arms in one process reports\nnear-zero growth for every arm after the first), and prints a verdict.\n\n```python\n#!/usr/bin/env python\n\"\"\"\ndjango-rest-framework: JSONParser applies an attacker-named codec to the request\nstream, defeating DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE.\n\nFour arms, each in a fresh subprocess because peak RSS is a high-water mark and\nmeasuring several arms in one process reports ~0 growth for every arm after the\nfirst.\n\n  T   ~108-byte bz2 body, Content-Type: application/json; charset=bz2_codec\n  C1  48 MiB plaintext,   Content-Type: application/json   (no charset)\n  C2  the byte-identical T body, charset=utf-8\n  C3  zlib body, charset=zlib_codec\n\nThe claim is T AND C1 AND C2.

C1 reports its own RSS growth because the client holds the 48 MiB body before the\nlimit rejects it, which is client-side cost and never reaches the view. C2 carries most of the\nweight: its body is byte-identical to T, and only the codec name differs. RSS figures vary by a few\nMiB between runs.\n\nRepeating all four arms on Django 5.2.17 LTS gave 109 wire bytes to 50,331,648 characters, 461,758x,\nwith C1 and C2 both holding.\n\nOne note if you re-implement the request yourself: use `Client.generic()` or\n`RequestFactory().generic()`. Both `Client.post()` and `RequestFactory.post()` push the body through\n`force_bytes(data, encoding=\u003ccharset\u003e)` (`django/test/client.py:438-447`), which destroys a compressed\npayload before the parser sees it.\n\n### Impact\n\nUnauthenticated denial of service through memory amplification, against any endpoint that accepts a\nJSON body with the default parser set. Every deployment on 3.6.4 or later is affected, and no\napplication code or configuration choice opts into it. Memory is per-request and released afterwards,\nwhich is why this is rated on availability alone rather than as Critical, but the amplification factor\nmeans a small number of concurrent requests can exhaust a worker. A few hundred bytes allocates\nhundreds of megabytes, and nothing in DRF or Django bounds the expanded size.",

  "details": "Django REST framework is a toolkit for building Web APIs. From 3.6.4 until 3.18.2, JSONParser.parse in rest_framework/parsers.py uses the client-supplied Content-Type charset value with codecs.getreader, which accepts byte-transform codecs such as bz2_codec rather than only text encodings. A remote unauthenticated client can therefore cause a compressed JSON request body to be expanded after Django has enforced DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE against only the wire bytes, allowing a very small request to consume substantial per-worker memory. The default parser set is sufficient, and any reachable endpoint that accepts a JSON body is affected. This issue is fixed in version 3.18.2.",
