Django 5.1.13 fixes one security issue with severity “high” and one security issue with severity “low” in 5.1.12.

## CVE-2025-59681: Potential SQL injection in `QuerySet.annotate()`, `alias()`, `aggregate()`, and `extra()` on MySQL and MariaDB

`QuerySet.annotate()`, `alias()`, `aggregate()`, and `extra()` methods were subject to SQL injection in column aliases, using a suitably crafted dictionary, with dictionary expansion, as the `**kwargs` passed to these methods (follow up to CVE 2022-28346).

## CVE-2025-59682: Potential partial directory-traversal via `archive.extract()`

The `django.utils.archive.extract()` function, used by `startapp --template` and `startproject --template`, allowed partial directory-traversal via an archive with file paths sharing a common prefix with the target directory (follow up to CVE 2021-3281).
