CVE-2026-15307 is a high-severity vulnerability in GeoDjango affecting Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 6.0 before 6.0.8. The flaw is in spatial lookup handling for GeometryField and RasterField values, where right-hand-side lookup input is optimistically passed to the django.contrib.gis.gdal.GDALRaster constructor. Untrusted input can therefore reach GDALRaster during spatial lookups, including through Django admin changelist filtering by a staff user with view permission on a registered model containing a spatial field. When the supplied value is a dict, or a string containing its JSON representation, GDALRaster opens it in write mode despite the constructor's write=False default, enabling creation of a file with attacker-controlled name and contents through a file-backed GDAL driver. Other string values are treated as raster datasources, which can trigger outbound network access through GDAL virtual filesystem handlers. In environments where the written file can later be imported or executed by the application, the issue can be escalated to remote code execution.

A high-severity vulnerability in Django spatial lookups involving raster-related values processed through GDALRaster, which could enable server-side file writes or outbound network requests and, in some environments, potentially remote code execution.
A Django/GeoDjango vulnerability in GDAL raster handling that can allow attacker-controlled file write and outbound network requests via spatial lookups, potentially leading to remote code execution if a written file is later imported by the application.
A high-severity Django vulnerability in spatial lookups that allowed attacker-controlled str or dict values to reach GDALRaster, potentially causing server-side file writes and server-side request forgery, and in some cases enabling remote code execution depending on the raster driver.
