CVE-2017-12794

python-django: Possible XSS in traceback section of technical 500 debug page

Published Sep 7, 2017 CVSS 3.0 · 6.1 Medium EPSS 23.6% KEV · Not listed
Description
In Django 1.10.x before 1.10.8 and 1.11.x before 1.11.5, HTML autoescaping was disabled in a portion of the template for the technical 500 debug page. Given the right circumstances, this allowed a cross-site scripting attack. This vulnerability shouldn't affect most production sites since you shouldn't run with "DEBUG = True" (which makes this page accessible) in your production settings.
