A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in Django admin affects Django 5.2 before 5.2.17 and 6.0 before 6.0.8. The vulnerable code path is django.contrib.admin.utils.display_for_field(), which rendered django.db.models.URLField values as clickable links in admin changelist views and read-only fields without validating that the stored value used a safe URL scheme. If an unsafe scheme was present in a persisted URLField value, the admin interface would generate an active hyperlink for it. This created a stored XSS condition against staff users who interacted with the rendered link. The issue does not normally arise through standard ModelForm or Django admin validation, because unsafe URL schemes are rejected there; it affects applications that persist URLField data without running model validation, such as through direct queryset writes, deserialization, or bulk import of untrusted input. Django fixed the issue by validating URLField values with URLValidator before rendering them as links and falling back to plain-text display when validation fails.
