CVE-2008-3909: Django cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability

May 2, 2022 (updated September 16, 2024)

The administration application in Django 0.91.x, 0.95.x, and 0.96.x stores unauthenticated HTTP POST requests and processes them after successful authentication occurs, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and delete or modify data via unspecified requests.
