Upgrade Django to version 2.1.15, 2.2.8 or higher.
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 Privilege Escalation. A Django model admin displaying inline related models, where the user has view-only permissions to a parent model but edit permissions to the inline model, would be presented with an editing UI, allowing POST requests, for updating the inline model. Directly editing the view-only parent model was not possible, but the parent model's save() method was called, triggering potential side effects, and causing pre and post-save signal handlers to be invoked.
