SCA: security update for django-cms (GHSA-fwjf-m4qw-9f2x)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 446248

Description

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

 - django CMS is a content management system powered by Django. Prior to 5.0.8 and in 5.1.0a1, the django CMS
 page cache in cms/cache/page.py ignores request headers declared by plugins through get_vary_cache_on().
 The _page_cache_key function includes the cache prefix, site, language, path, and timezone but not the
 declared header values. Although set_page_cache adds those names to the response Vary header,
 get_page_cache retrieves the first stored variant under the same header-agnostic key. When CMS_PAGE_CACHE
 is enabled and a plugin varies content on a header such as Country-Code, one visitor can receive another
 visitor’s request-specific content, and an unauthenticated attacker can prime the cache with attacker-
 chosen content. This issue is fixed in versions 5.0.8 and 5.1.0. (CVE-2026-54625)

Solution

Update the django-cms library and its related packages to version 5.0.8 or later.
