# CVE-2026-15920

## Summary

- **CVE ID:** CVE-2026-15920
- **Severity:** MEDIUM
- **CVSS Score:** 6.1 (CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N)
- **CWE:** CWE-83
- **Published:** Aug 4, 2026
- **Last Modified:** Aug 4, 2026

## Description

An issue was discovered in Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 6.0 before 6.0.8.
`django.contrib.admin.utils.display_for_field()` renders `URLField` values as clickable links in the admin without validating the URL. A value stored with an unsafe scheme is displayed as a link on changelist and read-only admin pages, which allows cross-site scripting against staff users who click the link.
Exploitation requires the unsafe value to already be stored in the database. `URLField` validation through a `ModelForm` or the admin rejects unsafe schemes, so this affects applications that persist `URLField` data without running model validation, for example through direct queryset writes, deserialization, or bulk import of untrusted input.
Django would like to thank Egor Saltykov for reporting this issue.
