In Django 2.2 before 2.2.22, 3.1 before 3.1.10, and 3.2 before 3.2.2 (with Python 3.9.5+), URLValidator does not prohibit newlines and tabs (unless the URLField form field is used). If an application uses values with newlines in an HTTP response, header injection can occur. Django itself is unaffected because HttpResponse prohibits newlines in HTTP headers.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202509-03 (Django: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Django. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced     below for details.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Gentoo Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote SUSE Linux SUSE15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openSUSE-SU-2023:0005-1 advisory.

  - In Django 2.2 before 2.2.22, 3.1 before 3.1.10, and 3.2 before 3.2.2 (with Python 3.9.5+), URLValidator     does not prohibit newlines and tabs (unless the URLField form field is used). If an application uses     values with newlines in an HTTP response, header injection can occur. Django itself is unaffected because     HttpResponse prohibits newlines in HTTP headers. (CVE-2021-32052)

  - 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. (CVE-2021-33203)

  - In Django 2.2 before 2.2.24, 3.x before 3.1.12, and 3.2 before 3.2.4, URLValidator, validate_ipv4_address,     and validate_ipv46_address do not prohibit leading zero characters in octal literals. This may allow a     bypass of access control that is based on IP addresses. (validate_ipv4_address and validate_ipv46_address     are unaffected with Python 3.9.5+..) . (CVE-2021-33571)

  - In Django 2.2 before 2.2.25, 3.1 before 3.1.14, and 3.2 before 3.2.10, HTTP requests for URLs with     trailing newlines could bypass upstream access control based on URL paths. (CVE-2021-44420)

  - 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.
    UserAttributeSimilarityValidator incurred significant overhead in evaluating a submitted password that was     artificially large in relation to the comparison values. In a situation where access to user registration     was unrestricted, this provided a potential vector for a denial-of-service attack. (CVE-2021-45115)

  - 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. (CVE-2021-45116)

  - Storage.save in Django 2.2 before 2.2.26, 3.2 before 3.2.11, and 4.0 before 4.0.1 allows directory     traversal if crafted filenames are directly passed to it. (CVE-2021-45452)

  - The {% debug %} template tag in Django 2.2 before 2.2.27, 3.2 before 3.2.12, and 4.0 before 4.0.2 does not     properly encode the current context. This may lead to XSS. (CVE-2022-22818)

  - An issue was discovered in MultiPartParser in Django 2.2 before 2.2.27, 3.2 before 3.2.12, and 4.0 before     4.0.2. Passing certain inputs to multipart forms could result in an infinite loop when parsing files.
    (CVE-2022-23833)

  - An issue was discovered in Django 2.2 before 2.2.28, 3.2 before 3.2.13, and 4.0 before 4.0.4.
    QuerySet.annotate(), aggregate(), and extra() methods are subject to SQL injection in column aliases via a     crafted dictionary (with dictionary expansion) as the passed **kwargs. (CVE-2022-28346)

  - A SQL injection issue was discovered in QuerySet.explain() in Django 2.2 before 2.2.28, 3.2 before 3.2.13,     and 4.0 before 4.0.4. This occurs by passing a crafted dictionary (with dictionary expansion) as the
    **options argument, and placing the injection payload in an option name. (CVE-2022-28347)

  - An issue was discovered in the HTTP FileResponse class in Django 3.2 before 3.2.15 and 4.0 before 4.0.7.
    An application is vulnerable to a reflected file download (RFD) attack that sets the Content-Disposition     header of a FileResponse when the filename is derived from user-supplied input. (CVE-2022-36359)

  - In Django 3.2 before 3.2.16, 4.0 before 4.0.8, and 4.1 before 4.1.2, internationalized URLs were subject     to a potential denial of service attack via the locale parameter, which is treated as a regular     expression. (CVE-2022-41323)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
