Descriptions

An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.7, 5.0 before 5.0.13, and 4.2 before 4.2.20. The django.utils.text.wrap() method and wordwrap template filter are subject to a potential denial-of-service attack when used with very long strings.

A potential denial of service vulnerability exists in django.utils.text.wrap() and the wordwrap template filter. When processing extremely long strings, these functions may cause excessive resource consumption, potentially leading to service disruption.

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled text wrapping. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
