CVE-2026-61598
Published:September 16, 2026
Updated:October 10, 2026
djust provides Phoenix LiveView-style reactive server-side rendering for Django with Rust-powered performance. Prior to version 1.0.7, "djust.mixins.model_binding.ModelBindingMixin" provides a default "update_model" event handler and is part of the LiveView base MRO, so every LiveView exposes it. It "setattr"s a view attribute whose name is client-supplied ("field"), gated only by: reject "_"-prefixed names; reject a 14-entry denylist of framework internals ("FORBIDDEN_MODEL_FIELDS"); optional "allowed_model_fields" which defaults to None = allow all; and "hasattr" existence. As a result, a client can set any public, existing view attribute — not just the fields actually bound with "dj-model=" in the rendered template. The denylist covers framework plumbing but nothing about developer business/authz state, and the allowlist is opt-in (off by default). A developer who binds one "dj-model="search"" input and also keeps "self.account_id" / "self.is_admin" / "self.total_price" as view state does not realize a client can set ALL of them via "{type:event, event:"update_model", params:{field, value}}" over the WebSocket. Type coercion matches the target attribute's type (so ""true"" -> bool True), aiding the attacker. This issue is fixed in djust 1.0.7. As a workaround, set "allowed_model_fields" explicitly on every view using dj-model (or subclassing LiveView) to the minimal list of bindable fields; do not keep authorization/ownership state in public view attributes that share the view with dj-model bindings.
