36
+ "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
37
+ Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a

+ copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
39
+ (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
40
+
41
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
42
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
43
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
44
+ represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
45
+ of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
46
+ separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,

57
+ communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,

68
+ this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,

80
+ by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
81
+ Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
82
+ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
83
+ institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
84
+ cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
85
+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
86
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
87
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
88
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
89
+
90
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
91
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
92
+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
93
+ meet the following conditions:
94
+
95
+ (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
96
+ Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
97
+
98
+ (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
99
+ stating that You changed the files; and
100
+
101
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
102
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
103
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
104
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
105
+ the Derivative Works; and
106
+
107
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
108
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
109
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
110
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
111
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
112
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
113
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
114
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
115
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
116
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
117
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
118
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
119
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
120
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
121
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
122
+ as modifying the License.
123
+
124
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
125
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
126
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
127
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
128
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
129
+ the conditions stated in this License.
130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
133
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
134
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
135
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
136
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
137
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
138
+
139
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
140
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
141
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
142
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
143
+
144
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
145
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
146
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
147
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
148
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
149
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
150
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
151
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
152
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
153
+
154
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
155
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
156
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
160
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
161
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
162
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
163
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
164
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
165
+
166
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
167
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
168
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
169
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
170
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
171
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
172
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
173
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
174
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
175
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
176
+
177
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+ > [!IMPORTANT]
61
+ > This is a community fork of [python-diskcache](https://github.com/grantjenks/python-diskcache),
62
+ > whose last release was 5.6.3 in August 2023. It is published on PyPI as
63
+ > `diskcache-community` and imported as `diskcache_community`, so it installs
64
+ > next to the upstream `diskcache` package. It carries the fix path for
65
+ > [CVE-2025-69872](https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-w8v5-vhqr-4h9v) and
66
+ > reads and writes the same cache directories as 5.6.3.
67
+ > See [Why this fork](#why-this-fork), [Migrating from diskcache](#migrating-from-diskcache)
68
+ > and [Fix CVE-2025-69872 in diskcache](https://diskcache-community.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fix-cve-2025-69872.html).
69
+
70
+ ## Install
71
+
72
+ ```sh
73
+ pip install diskcache-community
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ The package is imported as `diskcache_community` and never touches the
77
+ upstream `diskcache` package, so both can be installed in the same environment;
78
+ see [Migrating from diskcache](#migrating-from-diskcache).
79
+
80
+ ## Usage
81
+
82
+ ```python
83
+ from diskcache_community import Cache
84
+
85
+ cache = Cache('cache') # the directory is created with mode 0700
86
+ cache.set('answer', 42, expire=3600, tag='math')
87
+ cache['config'] = {'debug': False}
88
+ cache.get('answer') # 42
89
+ cache.get('missing', default=None)
90
+ cache.evict('math') # delete every key tagged 'math'
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ Memoize function results across processes and restarts:
94
+
95
+ ```python
96
+ @cache.memoize(expire=600, ignore={'session'})
97
+ def fetch(url, session):
98
+ return session.get(url).text
99
+ ```
100
+
101
+ Shard across several SQLite files for higher write throughput, and plug the
102
+ same cache into Django:
103
+
104
+ ```python
105
+ from diskcache_community import FanoutCache
106
+
107
+ cache = FanoutCache('cache', shards=8, timeout=1)
108
+ ```
109
+
110
+ ```python
111
+ # settings.py
112
+ CACHES = {
113
+ 'default': {
114
+ 'BACKEND': 'diskcache_community.DjangoCache',
115
+ 'LOCATION': '/var/tmp/django_cache',
116
+ 'SHARDS': 8,
117
+ 'DISK': 'diskcache_community.SafeDisk', # restricted unpickling, see below
118
+ }
119
+ }
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ Caches shared with untrusted writers should use `SafeDisk`, which unpickles
123
+ only a fixed set of built-in types and keeps file reads inside the cache
124
+ directory:
125
+
126
+ ```python
127
+ from diskcache_community import Cache, SafeDisk
128
+
129
+ cache = Cache('cache', disk=SafeDisk)
130
+ ```
131
+
132
+ [Fix CVE-2025-69872 in diskcache](https://diskcache-community.readthedocs.io/en/latest/fix-cve-2025-69872.html) covers caches
133
+ that libraries create for you, your own classes, and entries already in the
134
+ cache.
135
+
136
+ ## Features
137
+
138
+ - `Cache`, `FanoutCache` and `DjangoCache` for key-value caching with
139
+ expiry, tags, size limits and LRU, LFU and other eviction policies
140
+ - `Deque` and `Index`: persistent, cross-process `collections.deque` and `dict`
141
+ - Recipes for memoization with stampede prevention, cross-process locks,
142
+ semaphores and throttling
143
+ - Thread-safe and process-safe, with fork-safe connection handling
144
+ - Read-only mode, automatic when the directory is not writable
145
+ - Opt-in `SafeDisk` for caches whose directory other users can write to
146
+ - Pure Python on top of the standard library `sqlite3`; no server, no compiler
147
+ - Tested on CPython 3.10 to 3.14 on Linux, macOS and Windows

+ [benchmarks](https://diskcache-community.readthedocs.io/en/latest/benchmarks.html)
150
+ against memcached, Redis, lmdb, sqlitedict and shelve; sets are 9 to 14 %
151
+ faster than in diskcache 5.6.3, and twice as fast for 1 MB values
152
+
153
+ ## Why this fork
154
+
155
+ The upstream project stopped releasing after 5.6.3 (August 2023) and its last
156
+ commit landed in March 2024. In 2025, CVE-2025-69872 was published against
157
+ every released version: the cache reads pickled values with `pickle.load`, so
158
+ anyone who can write into the cache directory can run code in the process
159
+ that reads from it. The package still works, but scanners flag it and there
160
+ is no fixed upstream version.
161
+
162
+ This fork publishes the same library as `diskcache-community`. It keeps the
163
+ `cache.db` schema, the file layout, the serialization modes and the memoize
164
+ key format unchanged, so a 5.6.3 process opens a directory written by this
165
+ fork and the reverse. It adds the opt-in `SafeDisk`, creates cache directories
166
+ with mode `0700`, opens read-only directories read-only, closes the per-thread
167
+ SQLite connections it used to leak, and survives `fork`. The package is
168
+ imported as `diskcache_community`, so a project can move to it while other
169
+ dependencies in the same environment still use the upstream `diskcache`.
170
+ The [changelog](CHANGELOG.md) lists every change and
171
+ [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) describes what is and is not fixed.
172
+
173
+ DiskCache was written and maintained by Grant Jenks from 2016 to 2023. This
174
+ fork keeps his license, copyright and author credit; see [NOTICE](NOTICE).
175
+
176
+ ## Migrating from diskcache
177
+
178
+ The public API and the files on disk are unchanged; only the import name
179
+ differs. Install the fork and change the imports:
180
+
181
+ ```sh
182
+ pip install diskcache-community
183
+ ```
184
+
185
+ ```python
186
+ import diskcache_community as diskcache # was: import diskcache
187
+ from diskcache_community import Cache # was: from diskcache import Cache
188
+ ```
189
+
190
+ In Django settings, use `'diskcache_community.DjangoCache'` and
191
+ `'diskcache_community.SafeDisk'`. Existing cache directories open as they
192
+ are, and a 5.6.3 process still opens directories written by the fork.
193
+
194
+ The [migration guide](https://diskcache-community.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html) lists the few behaviour changes
195
+ since 5.6.3 and how to go back.
196
+
197
+ The upstream `diskcache` package can stay installed, for example when another
198
+ dependency requires it. Each library uses the package it imports. A library
199
+ that wants to support both can import whichever is present:
200
+
201
+ ```python
202
+ try:
203
+ import diskcache_community as diskcache
204
+ except ImportError:
205
+ import diskcache
206
+ ```
