Description

When using the admin site, gibberish can be entered as the lookup parameter, at least with the change_view and the delete_view, which causes an error. The trace that is sent to me is as follows:

ERROR (internal IP): Internal Server Error: /admin/customers/customer/blahblah/

ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'blahblah'

It seems that this error only occurs when using a inherited object. The Customer object in my project is defined as follows:

class Customer(Contact):
    language = models.CharField(_('language'), max_length=5, choices=languages, default='nl')
    (etc)

    objects = ContactManager()

Other inherited objects seem to have the same issue.

This issue is quite low-priority, as only the admin site is affected and this only results in error mails to be sent when an user fails with its url. It's not a security leak.

I could verify this issue. As far as the admin is concerned, this is happening in the get_object() method: https://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/admin/options.py?rev=16934#L475

In that method, the object_id is initially prepared by doing:

object_id = model._meta.pk.to_python(object_id)

In the case of a "normal" model (without inheritance), the pk field is an AutoField and therefore the line above raises a ValidationError. Then, get_object() catches the error, ignores it, and moves on peacefully. So eventually a 404 page is returned.

However, in the case of a "complex" model (using inheritance), the pk is a OneToOneField, whose to_python() method simply returns the value ('blahblah') unchanged without raising any exception. That value is then used in queryset.get(pk=object_id), which raises a ValueError, which isn't caught by get_object().

The question is, should a ValidationError be returned by OneToOneField (or any ForeignKey) when a value with unexpected format is provided to to_python(), or should the admin's get_object() silently catch and ignore ValueError?

I suggest to fix to_python() calls on relation fields. They should validate data by the rules of related field. Otherwise similar bug (ValueError instead of ValidationError) can occur in different places.

This should raise a 404, not a 500.

I ran into a similar issue where passing a non-integer string into ForeignKey.validate() when the corresponding type should be an int raised a ValueError instead of a ValidationError, which caused calling code to break unexpectedly. The stack trace passes through this line:

qs = self.rel.to._default_manager.using(using).filter(
        **{self.rel.field_name: value}
     )

Is this issue a different issue?

Resolution: duplicate
Status: newclosed

Original description reported again and fixed by #19951. Issue from comment 4 looks like a different problem, but is hard to duplicate/determine if still a problem without more complete details about how to recreate, and full traceback. Closing since the original issue has been fixed; if the line of code mentioned in comment 4 is really an error that needs its own ticket with more complete details of the problem there.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
