## Overview

An issue was discovered in Django 5.0 before 5.0.7 and 4.2 before 4.2.14. Derived classes of the `django.core.files.storage.Storage` base class, when they override `generate_filename()` without replicating the file-path validations from the parent class, potentially allow directory traversal via certain inputs during a `save()` call. (Built-in Storage sub-classes are unaffected.)

## Affected packages

- `django >= 5.0, < 5.0.7`
- `django >= 4.2, < 4.2.14`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `django 5.0.7`
- `django 4.2.14`
