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 WSGI header spoofing. A malicious user could exploit this vulnerability by using an _ character instead of a - in an HTTP header. In the WSGI environ, the X-Auth-User and the X-Auth_User headers are both converted to HTTP_X_Auth_User, allowing the attacker to bypass the protection.
