+CVE-2021-35042: Potential SQL injection via unsanitized ``QuerySet.order_by()`` input
+=====================================================================================
+
+Unsanitized user input passed to ``QuerySet.order_by()`` could bypass intended
+column reference validation in path marked for deprecation resulting in a
+potential SQL injection even if a deprecation warning is emitted.
+
+As a mitigation the strict column reference validation was restored for the
+duration of the deprecation period. This regression appeared in 3.1 as a side
+effect of fixing :ticket:`31426`.
+
+The issue is not present in the main branch as the deprecated path has been
+removed.
