📋 Description

An issue was discovered in Django 1.11.x before 1.11.23, 2.1.x before 2.1.11, and 2.2.x before 2.2.4. Due to the behaviour of the underlying HTMLParser, django.utils.html.strip_tags would be extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities.

🎯 Affected products3

  • pip/Django:>= 1.11a1, < 1.11.23
  • pip/Django:>= 2.1a1, < 2.1.11
  • pip/Django:>= 2.2a1, < 2.2.4
