Discussion

Django 'return()' Function URI Redirection Vulnerability

Django is prone to a URI-redirection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

A successful exploit may aid in phishing attacks; other attacks are possible.

Versions prior to Django 1.4.14, 1.5.9, 1.6.6 and 1.7 rc3 are vulnerable.
