CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 python-django to version 2:2.2.12-1ubuntu0.7 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-django package and not the python-django package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

In Django 2.2 before 2.2.22, 3.1 before 3.1.10, and 3.2 before 3.2.2 (with Python 3.9.5+), URLValidator does not prohibit newlines and tabs (unless the URLField form field is used). If an application uses values with newlines in an HTTP response, header injection can occur. Django itself is unaffected because HttpResponse prohibits newlines in HTTP headers.
