Django is een in Python geschreven opensource-web application framework, dat volgens het model-view-controller-ontwerppatroon werkt. Met Django kunnen complexe websites worden ontwikkeld die van grote databases gebruikmaken. Enkele voorbeelden zijn Pinterest, Instagram, Mozilla en The Washington Times. Versie 2.1.2 is enkele dagen geleden uitgebracht met de volgende aankondiging:
Django security release issued: 2.1.2
In accordance with our security release policy, the Django team is issuing Django 2.1.2. This release addresses the security issue detailed below. We encourage all users of Django to upgrade as soon as possible.
CVE-2018-16984: Password hash disclosure to "view only" admin users
If an admin user has the change permission to the user model, only part of the password hash is displayed in the change form. Admin users with the view (but not change) permission to the user model were displayed the entire hash. While it's typically infeasible to reverse a strong password hash, if your site uses weaker password hashing algorithms such as MD5 or SHA1, it could be a problem.
Thanks Phithon Gong for reporting this issue.
