Synopsis

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5269-1 advisory.

 Keryn Knight discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain template tags. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2022-22818)

 Alan Ryan discovered that Django incorrectly handled file uploads. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to hang, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-23833)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
