Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Django REST Framework versions prior to 3.12.0 Django REST Framework versions prior to 3.11.2

Description A flaw in Django REST Framework allows for a cross-site-scripting (XSS) issue when using the browseable API viewer. The framework fails to properly escape certain strings from user input, enabling a user who controls those strings to inject malicious script tags.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.12.0, update to version 3.12.0 or later to resolve the issue. For versions prior to 3.11.2, update to version 3.11.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the browseable API viewer until a patch is available.
