An issue was discovered in Django v5.1.1, v5.0.9, and v4.2.16. The django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm class, when used in a view implementing password reset flows, allows remote attackers to enumerate user e-mail addresses by sending password reset requests and observing the outcome (only when e-mail sending is consistently failing).

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 version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:1101 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2024-53907:
    An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.4, 5.0 before 5.0.10, and 4.2 before 4.2.17. Direct usage     of the django.db.models.fields.json.HasKey lookup, when an Oracle database is used, is subject to SQL     injection if untrusted data is used as an lhs value. (Applications that use the jsonfield.has_key lookup     via __ are unaffected.)

    CVE-2024-53908:
    An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.4, 5.0 before 5.0.10, and 4.2 before 4.2.17. The     strip_tags() method and striptags template filter are subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via     certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities.

    CVE-2024-45230:
    An issue was discovered in Django 5.1 before 5.1.1, 5.0 before 5.0.9, and 4.2 before 4.2.16. The urlize()     and urlizetrunc() template filters are subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via very large     inputs with a specific sequence of characters.

    CVE-2024-45231:
    An issue was discovered in Django v5.1.1, v5.0.9, and v4.2.16. The     django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm class, when used in a view implementing password reset flows,     allows remote attackers to enumerate user e-mail addresses by sending password reset requests and     observing the outcome (only when e-mail sending is consistently failing).

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An issue was discovered in Django v5.1.1, v5.0.9, and v4.2.16. The     django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm class, when used in a view implementing password reset flows,     allows remote attackers to enumerate user e-mail addresses by sending password reset requests and     observing the outcome (only when e-mail sending is consistently failing). (CVE-2024-45231)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:3161-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2024-45230: Fixed potential denial-of-service vulnerability in django.utils.html.urlize().
    (bsc#1229823)
    - CVE-2024-45231: Fixed potential user email enumeration via response status on password reset.
    (bsc#1229824)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE 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 detected version of the Django Python package, Django, is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.16, 5.0.x prior to 5.0.9 or 5.1.x prior to 5.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as disclosed in Django's September 3rd 2024 security advisory:

  - urlize and urlizetrunc were subject to a potential denial-of-service attack via very large inputs with a   specific sequence of characters. (CVE-2024-45230)  
  - Due to unhandled email sending failures, the django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm class allowed   remote attackers to enumerate user emails by issuing password reset requests and observing the outcomes.
  (CVE-2024-45231)
