CVE-2017-12794 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Alpine:3.20 py3-django to version 1.11.5-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream py3-django package and not the py3-django package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.20 relevant fixed versions and status.
In Django 1.10.x before 1.10.8 and 1.11.x before 1.11.5, HTML autoescaping was disabled in a portion of the template for the technical 500 debug page. Given the right circumstances, this allowed a cross-site scripting attack. This vulnerability shouldn't affect most production sites since you shouldn't run with "DEBUG = True" (which makes this page accessible) in your production settings.
