CVE-2015-0222: Django database denial-of-service with ModelMultipleChoiceField

May 17, 2022 (updated September 18, 2024)

ModelMultipleChoiceField in Django 1.6.x before 1.6.10 and 1.7.x before 1.7.3, when show_hidden_initial is set to True, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by submitting duplicate values, which triggers a large number of SQL queries.
