Mitigation checklist

Recommended fix / mitigation

To mitigate this issue, configure Django applications utilizing GeoDjango to restrict the maximum depth of nested geometry collections. This can be achieved by setting the `max_geom_collections` argument on `GEOSGeometry` objects, spatial form fields, or model fields that handle WKT or WKB inputs. Implementing this configuration change may necessitate application-level adjustments and a restart of the Django application to ensure the new limits are enforced.
