Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning. It used a request's HTTP Host header to construct a full URL. An attacker can submit a request with a Host header of his or her choice, receive a response which constructs URLs using that Host header, and If that response is cached, further requests will be served out of cache using URLs containing the attacker's host of choice.
