This is Django 1.5.2, a bugfix and security release for Django 1.5.
Django relies on user input in some cases (e.g.
django.contrib.auth.views.login()
, django.contrib.comments
, and
i18n) to redirect the user to an "on success" URL.
The security checks for these redirects (namely
django.utils.http.is_safe_url()
) didn't check if the scheme is http(s)
and as such allowed javascript:...
URLs to be entered. If a developer
relied on is_safe_url()
to provide safe redirect targets and put such a
URL into a link, they could suffer from a XSS attack. This bug doesn't affect
Django currently, since we only put this URL into the Location
response
header and browsers seem to ignore JavaScript there.
django.contrib.admin
¶If a URLField
is used in Django 1.5, it displays the
current value of the field and a link to the target on the admin change page.
The display routine of this widget was flawed and allowed for XSS.
