CVE-2014-0480 Open this link in a new tabOverview
django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Phishing attacks. The reverse() function does not properly validate URLs. When user input beginning with two forward-slash characters (//), reverse() could generate scheme-relative URLs to other hosts, allowing an attacker to generate links to sites of their choice, enabling phishing and other attacks.
