Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Cross-site scripting
EUVDB-ID: #VU1603
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2512
CWE-ID:
CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The weakness exists in the utils.http.is_safe_url function due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

2) Timing attack
EUVDB-ID: #VU1605
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2513
CWE-ID:
CWE-208 - Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists in the password hasher in contrib/auth/hashers.py due to creating a timing difference between a login request for a user with a password encoded in an older number of iterations and login request for a nonexistent user. A remote attacker can enumerate users via a timing attack involving login requests.
