Synopsis

A Python library installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The detected version of the Django Python package, Django, is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.16, 5.0.x prior to 5.0.9 or 5.1.x prior to 5.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as disclosed in Django's September 3rd 2024 security advisory:

- urlize and urlizetrunc were subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via very large inputs with a specific sequence of characters. (CVE-2024-45230)
- Due to unhandled email sending failures, the django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm class allowed remote attackers to enumerate user emails by issuing password reset requests and observing the outcomes.
(CVE-2024-45231)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Django version 4.2.16, 5.0.9, 5.1.1 or later.
