SCA: security update for django-cms (GHSA-hvq6-2r72-p2x7)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 446189

Description

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

 - django CMS is an easy-to-use and developer-friendly enterprise content management system powered by
 Django. From 5.0.8 until 5.0.9, ContentRenderer.render_placeholder in cms/plugin_rendering.py can pass
 stored, attacker-controlled values to ContentRenderer.render_exception when plugin rendering fails in edit
 mode. Values from get_short_description(), the exception message, the placeholder, or placeholder.source
 are interpolated into a cms-rendering-exception heading and later returned through mark_safe. Because the
 heading is not escaped, stored HTML executes in an editor’s browser, and settings.DEBUG does not prevent
 the custom heading from rendering. The fix uses format_html to escape the message before safe placeholder
 output is returned. This issue is fixed in versions 5.0.9. (CVE-2026-75526)

Solution

Update the django-cms library and its related packages to version 5.0.9 or later.
