  9. CVE-2021-35042: Potential SQL injection via unsanitized ``QuerySet.order_by()`` input
    
  10. =====================================================================================
    
  11. 
    
  12. Unsanitized user input passed to ``QuerySet.order_by()`` could bypass intended
    
  13. column reference validation in path marked for deprecation resulting in a
    
  14. potential SQL injection even if a deprecation warning is emitted.
    
  15. 
    
  16. As a mitigation the strict column reference validation was restored for the
    
  17. duration of the deprecation period. This regression appeared in 3.1 as a side
    
  18. effect of fixing :ticket:`31426`.
    
  19. 
    
  20. The issue is not present in the main branch as the deprecated path has been
    
  21. removed.
