CVE-2026-125112: djust: A template binding inherits a context safety grant it never earned (XSS)
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 9/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.34% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: djust (PyPI) 1.1.2, 1.0.10.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to djust (PyPI) 1.1.2, 1.0.10 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
djust provides Phoenix LiveView-style reactive server-side rendering for Django with Rust-powered performance. Prior to versions 1.0.10 and 1.1.2, djust keys context output-safety grants by variable name and fails to revoke a grant when a template bind replaces the value associated with that name. A template using {% with %}, {% for %}, {% include ... with %}, tuple unpacking, or assign tags can therefore rebind a name that previously held mark_safe content and emit the new attacker-controlled value without escaping, including descendant lookups through the rebound name. This can cause stored or reflected cross-site scripting when a victim renders the affected template. This issue is fixed in versions 1.0.10 and 1.1.2.

Limit the impact of XSS
This is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. A well-configured Content-Security-Policy doesn't fix it, but greatly reduces its impact. Check your site's CSP and other security headers for free.
