## Overview

An issue was discovered in 6.0 before 6.0.4, 5.2 before 5.2.13, and 4.2 before 4.2.30. Admin changelist forms using `ModelAdmin.list_editable` incorrectly allowed new instances to be created via forged `POST` data.

Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be affected.
Django would like to thank Cantina for reporting this issue.

## Affected packages

- `django >= 6.0, < 6.0.4`
- `django >= 5.2, < 5.2.13`
- `django >= 4.2, < 4.2.30`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `django 6.0.4`
- `django 5.2.13`
- `django 4.2.30`
