CVE-2011-4138  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

Overview

django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable due to lack of request validation. The verify_exists functionality in the URLField originally tests a URL's validity through a HEAD request, but then uses a GET request for the new target URL in the case of a redirect. This may allow remote attackers to trigger arbitrary GET requests with an unintended source IP address via a crafted Location header.
