Identifiers

Package Slug

pypi/wagtail

Vulnerability

Cross-site Scripting

Description

When saving the contents of a rich text field in the admin interface, Wagtail does not apply server-side checks to ensure that link URLs use a valid protocol. A malicious user with access to the admin interface could thus craft a POST request to publish content with javascript: URLs containing arbitrary code. The vulnerability is not exploitable by an ordinary site visitor without access to the Wagtail admin. See referenced GitHub advisory for additional details, including a workaround. Patched versions have been released as Wagtail (for the branch) and Wagtail (for the current branch).

Solution

Upgrade to versions 2.11.7, 2.12.4 or above.
