    - CVE-2025-32873: Fixed denial-of-service possibility in `strip_tags()` (bsc#1242210)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The detected version of the Django Python package, Django, is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.21 or 5.1.x prior to 5.1.9 or 5.2.x prior to 5.2.1.

It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability as disclosed in Django's May 7th 2025 security advisory. The django.utils.html.strip_tags() function is vulnerable to a potential denial-of-service (slow performance) when processing inputs containing large sequences of incomplete HTML tags. The template filter striptags is also vulnerable, because it is built on top of strip_tags().

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 / 25.04 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7501-1 advisory.

    Elias Myllymki discovered that Django incorrectly handled stripping large sequences of incomplete HTML     tags. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django to consume resources, leading to a     denial of service.

    Package        : python-django     Version        : 2:2.2.28-1~deb11u7     CVE IDs        : CVE-2025-48432 CVE-2025-32873 CVE-2023-41164 CVE-2023-43665 CVE-2024-24680 CVE-2024-27351     Debian Bugs    : 1107282 1104872 1051226

    A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in Django, a popular     Python-based web-development framework:

     * CVE-2025-48432: Potential log injection via unescaped request path.

       Django's internal HTTP response logging used request.path directly,        allowing control characters (e.g. newlines or ANSI escape sequences) to        be written unescaped into logs. This could enable log injection or        forgery, letting attackers manipulate log appearance or structure,        especially in logs processed by external systems or viewed in terminals.
       (Closes: #1107282)

     * CVE-2025-32873: Denial-of-service possibility in strip_tags()

       django.utils.html.strip_tags() would be slow to evaluate certain inputs        containing large sequences of incomplete HTML tags. This function is used        to implement the striptags template filter, which was therefore also        vulnerable. strip_tags() now raises a SuspiciousOperation exception if it        encounters an unusually large number of unclosed opening tags.
       (Closes: #1104872)

     * CVE-2023-41164: Potential denial of service vulnerability in        django.utils.encoding.uri_to_iri(). This method was subject to potential        denial of service attack via certain inputs with a very large number of        Unicode characters. (Closes: #1051226)

     * CVE-2023-43665: Address a denial-of-service possibility in        django.utils.text.Truncator.

       Following the fix for CVE-2019-14232, the regular expressions used in the        implementation of django.utils.text.Truncator??s chars() and words()        methods (with html=True) were revised and improved. However, these        regular expressions still exhibited linear backtracking complexity, so        when given a very long, potentially malformed HTML input, the evaluation        would still be slow, leading to a potential denial of service        vulnerability. The chars() and words() methods are used to        implement the truncatechars_html and truncatewords_html template        filters, which were thus also vulnerable. The input processed by        Truncator, when operating in HTML mode, has been limited to the        first five million characters in order to avoid potential        performance and memory issues.

     * CVE-2024-24680: Potential denial-of-service in intcomma template        filter. The intcomma template filter was subject to a potential        denial-of-service attack when used with very long strings.

     * CVE-2024-27351: Fix a potential regular expression denial-of-service        (ReDoS) attack in django.utils.text.Truncator.words. This method (with        html=True) and the truncatewords_html template filter were subject to a        potential regular expression denial-of-service attack via a suitably        crafted string. This is, in part, a follow up to CVE-2019-14232 and        CVE-2023-43665.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2:2.2.28-1~deb11u7.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-django packages.
