A suitably crafted email address (that is equal to an existing user's email address after case transformation of Unicode characters) would allow an attacker to be sent a password reset token for the matched user account. (One mitigation in the new releases is to send password reset tokens only to the registered user email address.)","published":"2019-12-18T19:15:11.780Z","modified":"2026-08-22T18:49:57.031762792Z","cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"django","fixedVersion":"1.11.27"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"django","fixedVersion":"2.2.9"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"django","fixedVersion":"3.0.1"}],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/155872/Django-Account-Hijack.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21topic/django-announce/3oaB2rVH3a0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/HCM2DPUI7TOZWN4A6JFQFUVQ2XGE7GUD/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://seclists.org/bugtraq/2020/Jan/9"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/security/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202004-17"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security.netapp.com/advisory/ntap-20200110-0003/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://usn.ubuntu.com/4224-1/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.debian.org/security/2020/dsa-4598"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2019/dec/18/security-releases/"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-22T18:49:57.031762792Z"}}
