SCA: security update for Django (GHSA-wxg3-mfph-qg9w)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 433521

Description

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

 - The verify_exists functionality in the URLField implementation in Django before 1.2.7 and 1.3.x before
 1.3.1 originally tests a URL's validity through a HEAD request, but then uses a GET request for the new
 target URL in the case of a redirect, which might allow remote attackers to trigger arbitrary GET requests
 with an unintended source IP address via a crafted Location header. (CVE-2011-4138)
