Django security releases issued: 2.0.8 and 1.11.15
Posted by Tim Graham on août 1, 2018

In accordance with our security release policy, the Django team is
issuing Django 1.11.15 and Django 2.0.8. These release addresses the
security issue detailed below. We encourage all users of Django to
upgrade as soon as possible.


CVE-2018-14574: Open redirect possibility in CommonMiddleware

If the django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware and the APPEND_SLASH
setting are both enabled, and if the project has a URL pattern that
accepts any path ending in a slash (many content management systems have
such a pattern), then a request to a maliciously crafted URL of that
site could lead to a redirect to another site, enabling phishing and
other attacks.

Thanks Andreas Hug for reporting this issue.


Affected supported versions

    Django master branch
    Django 2.1 (which will be released in a separate blog post
      later today)
    Django 2.0
    Django 1.11

Per our supported versions policy, Django 1.10 and older are no longer
supported.


Resolution

Patches to resolve the issue have been applied to Django's master branch
and the 2.1, 2.0, and 1.11 release branches. The patches may be obtained
from the following changesets:

    On the master branch
