Django Cross Site Scripting and Request Forgery Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Django, which could be exploited by attackers to gain knowledge of sensitive information or bypass restrictions.
The first issue is caused by input validation errors in the CSRF protection mechanism, which could allow attackers to conduct cross site request forgery attacks by using combinations of browser plugins and HTTP redirections.
The second vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in the form system when displaying filenames of uploaded files, which could allow cross site scripting attacks.
The third issue is caused by an input validation error in the file-based session-storage backend when storing session data, which could allow directory traversal attacks.
