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 Information Exposure. It is possible for a user to specify the date format and pass it to the date filter, e.g. {{ last_updated|date:user_date_format }}. An attacker could send a settings key instead of a date format (like SECRET_KEY), and obtain any secret in the application's settings.
