CVE-2019-14232: Django Denial-of-service in django.utils.text.Truncator
(updated )
An issue was discovered in Django 1.11.x before 1.11.23, 2.1.x before 2.1.11, and 2.2.x before 2.2.4. If django.utils.text.Truncator
’s chars()
and words()
methods were passed the html=True
argument, they were extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs due to a catastrophic backtracking vulnerability in a regular expression. The chars()
and words()
methods are used to implement the truncatechars_htm
l and truncatewords_html
template filters, which were thus vulnerable.
