CVE-2012-3442

Publication date 31 July 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The (1) django.http.HttpResponseRedirect and (2) django.http.HttpResponsePermanentRedirect classes in Django before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 do not validate the scheme of a redirect target, which might allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a data: URL.
