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:22.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in Django 2.2 before 2.2.26, 3.2 before 3.2.11, and 4.0 before 4.0.1. Due to leveraging the Django Template Language's variable resolution logic, the dictsort template filter was potentially vulnerable to information disclosure, or an unintended method call, if passed a suitably crafted key.
