NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-django.src package and not the python-django.src package as distributed by RHEL.

In Django 2.2 before 2.2.18, 3.0 before 3.0.12, and 3.1 before 3.1.6, the django.utils.archive.extract method (used by "startapp --template" and "startproject --template") allows directory traversal via an archive with absolute paths or relative paths with dot segments.
