QID 994930: Python (Pip) Security Update for django (GHSA-f7cm-ccfp-3q4r)

The core.urlresolvers.reverse function in Django before 1.4.14, 1.5.x before 1.5.9, 1.6.x before 1.6.6, and 1.7 before release candidate 3 does not properly validate URLs, which allows remote attackers to conduct phishing attacks via a // (slash slash) in a URL, which triggers a scheme-relative URL to be generated.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
