CVE-2023-43665 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Alpine:3.20 py3-django to version 4.2.6-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 3.2 before 3.2.22, 4.1 before 4.1.12, and 4.2 before 4.2.6, the django.utils.text.Truncator chars() and words() methods (when used with html=True) are subject to a potential DoS (denial of service) attack via certain inputs with very long, potentially malformed HTML text. The chars() and words() methods are used to implement the truncatechars_html and truncatewords_html template filters, which are thus also vulnerable. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-14232.
