Overview

django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

Affected versions of this package used a hardcoded password for a temporary database user created when running tests with an Oracle database. This user is usually dropped after the test suite completes, but not when using the manage.py test --keepdb option or if the user has an active session. This makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access to the database.
