CVE-2026-27953: ormar Pydantic Validation Bypass via __pk_only__ and __excluded__ Kwargs Injection in Model Constructor

March 19, 2026 (updated March 20, 2026)

A Pydantic validation bypass in ormar’s model constructor allows any unauthenticated user to skip all field validation — type checks, constraints, @field_validator/@model_validator decorators, choices enforcement, and required-field checks — by injecting "__pk_only__": true into a JSON request body. The unvalidated data is subsequently persisted to the database. This affects the canonical usage pattern recommended in ormar’s official documentation and examples.

A secondary __excluded__ parameter injection uses the same design pattern to selectively nullify arbitrary model fields during construction.
