An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.4, 5.0 before 5.0.10, and 4.2 before 4.2.17. Direct usage of the django.db.models.fields.json.HasKey lookup, when an Oracle database is used, is subject to SQL injection if untrusted data is used as an lhs value. (Applications that use the jsonfield.has_key lookup via __ are unaffected.)

Notes

mdeslaur

There is no JSONField model field in focal and earlier. Lookup expressions were introduced here: https://github.com/django/django/commit/f42ccdd835e5b3f0914b5e6f87621c648136ea36 so jammy doesn’t appear to be affected.
