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 Session Hijacking. The RemoteUserMiddleware when using the contrib.auth.backends.RemoteUserBackend backend, allows remote authenticated users to hijack web sessions via the REMOTE_USER header as logout/login actions are not checked.
