CVE-2024-45231: Djangoproject Django

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

An issue was discovered in Django v5.1.1, v5.0.9, and v4.2.16. The django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm class, when used in a view implementing password reset flows, allows remote attackers to enumerate user e-mail addresses by sending password reset requests and observing the outcome (only when e-mail sending is consistently failing).

Affected products

• Djangoproject Django: from 4.2.0, before 4.2.16 (fixed in 4.2.16); from 5.0, before 5.0.9 (fixed in 5.0.9); version 5.1 only
