SCA: security update for Django (GHSA-37hp-765x-j95x)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 422339

Description

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

 - Django 1.10 before 1.10.7, 1.9 before 1.9.13, and 1.8 before 1.8.18 relies on user input in some cases to
 redirect the user to an "on success" URL. The security check for these redirects (namely
 ``django.utils.http.is_safe_url()``) considered some numeric URLs "safe" when they shouldn't be, aka an
 open redirect vulnerability. Also, if a developer relies on ``is_safe_url()`` to provide safe redirect
 targets and puts such a URL into a link, they could suffer from an XSS attack. (CVE-2017-7233)
