DJANGO PATCHES GITHUB ACTION RACE CONDITION BREAKING CONCURRENT PRs

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Django

1 person shipped this

Django fixed a critical concurrency bug in its labels workflow where edits on any pull request could kill another PR's entire label processing pipeline.

The labels.yml GitHub Action was using pull_request_target with github.ref hardcoded to main, meaning concurrent PR edits would trigger the same workflow run and cancel each other [1]. This was a follow-up fix to an earlier commit that didn't fully solve the problem. The Django team also caught and documented two missing release notes: one for Postgres 18+ virtual column support that slipped through when Oracle stored column support was added [2] [3]. Over on djangoproject.com, the team is moving to include patch links in CVE JSON records, matching Python's approach and addressing scoring penalties from the CNA [4]. These are all internal infrastructure improvements, not user-facing changes, so your deployments stay clean.
