Insight
Insight
It was discovered that there were two issues in Django, the Python web development framework: * CVE-2020-13254: Potential a data leakage via malformed memcached keys. In cases where a memcached backend does not perform key validation, passing malformed cache keys could result in a key collision, and potential data leakage. In order to avoid this vulnerability, key validation is added to the memcached cache backends. * CVE-2020-13596: Possible XSS via admin ForeignKeyRawIdWidget. Query parameters to the admin ForeignKeyRawIdWidget were not properly URL encoded, posing an XSS attack vector. ForeignKeyRawIdWidget now ensures query parameters are correctly URL encoded.
