CVE-2025-64460 is a denial-of-service vulnerability in Django's XML serialization subsystem. The flaw is in django.core.serializers.xml_serializer.getInnerText(), where algorithmically inefficient processing of XML text content allows specially crafted XML supplied to the XML Deserializer to trigger excessive resource consumption. A remote attacker can exploit this by causing superlinear processing behavior during recursive text extraction, leading to CPU and memory exhaustion. Affected supported versions are Django 5.2 before 5.2.9, 5.1 before 5.1.15, and 4.2 before 4.2.27. Earlier unsupported series, including 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x, were not evaluated and may also be affected.
