===========================
Django 5.0.10 release notes
===========================
*December 4, 2024*
Django 5.0.10 fixes one security issue with severity "high" and one security
issue with severity "moderate" in 5.0.9.
CVE-2024-53907: Denial-of-service possibility in ``strip_tags()``
=================================================================
:func:`~django.utils.html.strip_tags` would be extremely slow to evaluate
certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities.
The ``strip_tags()`` method is used to implement the corresponding
:tfilter:`striptags` template filter, which was thus also vulnerable.
``strip_tags()`` now has an upper limit of recursive calls to ``HTMLParser``
before raising a :exc:`.SuspiciousOperation` exception.
Remember that absolutely NO guarantee is provided about the results of
``strip_tags()`` being HTML safe. So NEVER mark safe the result of a
``strip_tags()`` call without escaping it first, for example with
:func:`django.utils.html.escape`.
