CVE-2020-25626: Debian Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 6.1. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in Django REST Framework versions before 3.12.0 and before 3.11.2. When using the browseable API viewer, Django REST Framework fails to properly escape certain strings that can come from user input. This allows a user who can control those strings to inject malicious <script> tags, leading to a cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerability.

Affected products

• Debian Debian Linux: version 11.0 only
• Encode Django Rest Framework: before 3.12.0 (fixed in 3.12.0)
• Red Hat Ceph Storage: version 2.0 only
