SCA: security update for Django, django (GHSA-68w8-qjq3-2gfm)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411318

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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)
