CVE-2016-2512  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

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 Cross-site Scripting (XSS). The utils.http.is_safe_url function allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks or possibly conduct Cross-site Scripting (XSS) attacks via a URL containing basic authentication. For example, a URL like http://mysite.example.com\@attacker.com would be considered safe if the request's host is http://mysite.example.com, but redirecting to this URL sends the user to attacker.com.
