CVE-2020-9402 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Django 1.11 before 1.11.29, 2.2 before 2.2.11, and 3.0 before 3.0.4 allows SQL Injection if untrusted data is used as a tolerance parameter in GIS functions and aggregates on Oracle. By passing a suitably crafted tolerance to GIS functions and aggregates on Oracle, it was possible to break escaping and inject malicious SQL.. EPSS estimates a 22.51% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
