Descriptions

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.

En Django versiones 1.10.x anteriores a la 1.10.8 y versiones 1.11.x anteriores a la 1.11.5, se deshabilitó la función de autoescapado HTML en una parte de la plantilla para la página de depuración technical 500. En las condiciones adecuadas, esto permitiría un ataque de Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). Esta vulnerabilidad no debería afectar a la mayoría de sitios de producción, ya que no se debería ejecutar el programa con "DEBUG = True" (lo que hace que esta página sea accesible) en la configuración de producción.

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain requests. An attacker could possibly use this to access sensitive information.
