CVE-2019-19844· NVD / CVE Program· CNA mitre

Django before 1.11.27, 2.x before 2.2.9, and 3.x before 3.0.1 allows account takeover.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 55/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB, GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 53.5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 98.9% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: py-django (Alpine:v3.10) 1.11.27-r0; py3-django (Alpine:v3.11) 1.11.27-r0; python-django (Debian:10) 1:1.11.27-1~deb10u1.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to py-django (Alpine:v3.10) 1.11.27-r0; py3-django (Alpine:v3.11) 1.11.27-r0; python-django (Debian:10) 1:1.11.27-1~deb10u1 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Django before 1.11.27, 2.x before 2.2.9, and 3.x before 3.0.1 allows account takeover. A suitably crafted email address (that is equal to an existing user's email address after case transformation of Unicode characters) would allow an attacker to be sent a password reset token for the matched user account. (One mitigation in the new releases is to send password reset tokens only to the registered user email address.)
