Django 1.5.9 release notes
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
*Under development*
|
|
|
|
Django 1.5.9 fixes several security issues in 1.5.8.
|
|
|
|
:func:`~django.core.urlresolvers.reverse()` could generate URLs pointing to other hosts
|
|
=======================================================================================
|
|
|
|
In certain situations, URL reversing could generate scheme-relative URLs (URLs
|
|
starting with two slashes), which could unexpectedly redirect a user to a
|
|
different host. An attacker could exploit this, for example, by redirecting
|
|
users to a phishing site designed to ask for user's passwords.
|
|
|
|
To remedy this, URL reversing now ensures that no URL starts with two slashes
|
|
(//), replacing the second slash with its URL encoded counterpart (%2F). This
|
|
approach ensures that semantics stay the same, while making the URL relative to
|
|
the domain and not to the scheme.
