CVE-2012-3442: Djangoproject Django

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 2.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The (1) django.http.HttpResponseRedirect and (2) django.http.HttpResponsePermanentRedirect classes in Django before 1.3.2 and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 do not validate the scheme of a redirect target, which might allow remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a data: URL.
