CVE-2019-19844 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Alpine:3.20 py3-django to version 1.11.27-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.
Django before 1.11.27, 2.x before 2.2.9, and 3.x before 3.0.1 allows account takeover. A suitably crafted email address (that is equal to an existing user's email address after case transformation of Unicode characters) would allow an attacker to be sent a password reset token for the matched user account. (One mitigation in the new releases is to send password reset tokens only to the registered user email address.)
