CVSS v4.0
6.9
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Django versions 2.1 through 2.1.1
Django versions prior to 2.1.2
Description
An issue allows unprivileged users to read the password hashes of arbitrary accounts. The read-only password widget used by the Django Admin to display an obfuscated password hash can be bypassed if a user has only the "view" permission, resulting in the display of the entire password hash. This may result in a vulnerability for sites with legacy user accounts using insecure hashes.
Recommendations
For Django versions 2.1 through 2.1.1, update to version 2.1.2 or later to resolve the issue.
For Django versions prior to 2.1.2, update to version 2.1.2 or later to resolve the issue.
Fix
Insufficiently Protected Credentials
