Published January 12, 2022Updated February 21, 2025Source: osv

Details

An issue was discovered in Django 2.2 before 2.2.26, 3.2 before 3.2.11, and 4.0 before 4.0.1. Due to leveraging the Django Template Language's variable resolution logic, the dictsort template filter was potentially vulnerable to information disclosure, or an unintended method call, if passed a suitably crafted key.

pip
Update django to 2.2.26 or later
pip install "django>=2.2.26"
pip
Update django to 3.2.11 or later
pip install "django>=3.2.11"
pip
Update django to 4.0.1 or later
pip install "django>=4.0.1"

After upgrading, run your dependency scanner again to confirm the vulnerability is resolved.
