Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2017-06-14 15:19 - Updated: 2025-11-21 18:00Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: python-django security update
Severity
Moderate
Notes
Topic: An update for python-django is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0 (Juno) for RHEL 7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.
Details: Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and a clean, pragmatic design. It focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle.
Security Fix(es):
* A redirect flaw, where the is_safe_url() function did not correctly sanitize numeric-URL user input, was found in python-django. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to perform XSS attacks against the OpenStack dashboard. (CVE-2017-7233)
Red Hat would like to thank the Django project for reporting this issue.
