The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3115-1 advisory.

    Marti Raudsepp discovered that Django incorrectly used a hardcoded password when running tests on an     Oracle database. A remote attacker could possibly connect to the database while the tests are running and     prevent the test user with the hardcoded password from being removed. (CVE-2016-9013)

    Aymeric Augustin discovered that Django incorrectly validated hosts when being run with the debug setting     enabled. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform DNS rebinding attacks. (CVE-2016-9014)

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.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a high-level Python web development framework. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2016-9013     Marti Raudsepp reported that a user with a hard-coded     password is created when running tests with an Oracle     database.

  - CVE-2016-9014     Aymeric Augustin discovered that Django does not     properly validate the Host header against     settings.ALLOWED_HOSTS when the debug setting is     enabled. A remote attacker can take advantage of this     flaw to perform DNS rebinding attacks.

  - CVE-2017-7233     It was discovered that is_safe_url() does not properly     handle certain numeric URLs as safe. A remote attacker     can take advantage of this flaw to perform XSS attacks     or to use a Django server as an open redirect.

  - CVE-2017-7234     Phithon from Chaitin Tech discovered an open redirect     vulnerability in the django.views.static.serve() view.
    Note that this view is not intended for production use.
