CVE-2024-24680 is a newly disclosed vulnerability affecting Django versions 3.2 before 3.2.24, 4.2 before 4.2.10, and Django 5.0 before 5.0.2. The intcomma template filter in these versions is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack. When this filter is used with unusually long strings, it can cause the application to consume excessive system resources and potentially crash.

Users are advised to upgrade to the patched versions to mitigate this risk.
