MODERATE
Path Traversal in Django
Published June 10, 2021Updated September 20, 2024Source: osv
Details
Django before 2.2.24, 3.x before 3.1.12, and 3.2.x before 3.2.4 has a potential directory traversal via django.contrib.admindocs. Staff members could use the TemplateDetailView view to check the existence of arbitrary files. Additionally, if (and only if) the default admindocs templates have been customized by application developers to also show file contents, then not only the existence but also the file contents would have been exposed. In other words, there is directory traversal outside of the template root directories.
Remediation
Upgrade to the fixed version using your package manager.
pip
Update django to 2.2.24 or laterpip install "django>=2.2.24"
pip
Update django to 3.1.12 or laterpip install "django>=3.1.12"
pip
Update django to 3.2.4 or laterpip install "django>=3.2.4"
After upgrading, run your dependency scanner again to confirm the vulnerability is resolved.
