CVE-2021-33203: Djangoproject Django

Medium severity, CVSS 4.9. EPSS: 2.7% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Django before 2.2.24, 3.x before 3.1.12, and 3.2.x before 3.2.4 has a potential directory traversal via django.contrib.admindocs. Staff members could use the TemplateDetailView view to check the existence of arbitrary files. Additionally, if (and only if) the default admindocs templates have been customized by application developers to also show file contents, then not only the existence but also the file contents would have been exposed. In other words, there is directory traversal outside of the template root directories.

Affected products

• Djangoproject Django: before 2.2.24 (fixed in 2.2.24); from 3.0.0, before 3.1.12 (fixed in 3.1.12); from 3.2.0, before 3.2.4 (fixed in 3.2.4)
• Fedoraproject Fedora: version 35 only
