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 Host Header Poisoning. The django.http.HttpRequest.get_host function incorrectly handled username/password information in the header. This allows remote attackers to generate and display arbitrary URLs via crafted username and password Host header values.
