GHSA-r28v-mw67-m5p9MediumCVSS 5.3
Django denial-of-service possibility in urlize and urlizetrunc template filters
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
An issue was discovered in Django 2.0 before 2.0.3, 1.11 before 1.11.11, and 1.8 before 1.8.19. The django.utils.html.urlize() function was extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs due to catastrophic backtracking vulnerabilities in two regular expressions (only one regular expression for Django 1.8.x). The urlize() function is used to implement the urlize and urlizetrunc template filters, which were thus vulnerable.
