The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2016:1595 advisory.

    Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and a clean, pragmatic     design. It focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)     principle.

    Security Fix(es):

    * A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in Django. An attacker could exploit the unsafe usage of     JavaScript's Element.innerHTML to forge content in the admin's add/change related popup.
    Element.textContent is now used to prevent XSS data execution. (CVE-2016-6186)

    Red Hat would like to thank the upstream Django project for reporting this issue.
