An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-2512 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- django (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.10, 1.9.3\n- django (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.10\n- django (PyPI): affected from 1.9a1; fixed in 1.9.3\n- Django (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.10\n- Django (PyPI): affected from 1.9a1; fixed in 1.9.3\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2512/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2512/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2512","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2512/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2512","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2512","GHSA-pw27-w7w4-9qc7","PYSEC-2016-15","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-2512"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Django web framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can redirect users to arbitrary sites or conduct phishing/XSS attacks via URLs with basic authentication in Django.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"open_redirect"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"django","vendor":"djangoproject"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The utils.http.is_safe_url function in Django before 1.8.10 and 1.9.x before 1.9.3 allows remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks or possibly conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a URL containing basic authentication, as demonstrated by http://mysite.example.com\\@attacker.com.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Django XSS Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2016-2512","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"djangoproject:django","products":["djangoproject:django"],"type":"open_redirect","year":"2016"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":13,"next":{"headline":"Django User Enumeration Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2016-2513"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["1.8.10"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"Django","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pw27-w7w4-9qc7"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["1.9.3"],"introduced":["1.9a1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"Django","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pw27-w7w4-9qc7"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["1.8.10","1.9.3"],"introduced":["0","1.9"],"last_affected":[],"package":"django","purl":"pkg:pypi/django","source":"PYSEC-2016-15"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["1.8.10"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"django","purl":"pkg:pypi/django","source":"GHSA-pw27-w7w4-9qc7"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["1.9.3"],"introduced":["1.9a1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"django","purl":"pkg:pypi/django","source":"GHSA-pw27-w7w4-9qc7"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2511"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege abuse in GenericInlineModelAdmin","id":"CVE-2026-4277","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Django SQL injection in HasKey(lhs, rhs) on Oracle","id":"CVE-2024-53908","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Django SQL injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-42005","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Django bypasses validation when using one form field to upload multiple files","id":"CVE-2023-31047","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Django `Trunc()` and `Extract()` database functions vulnerable to SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2022-34265","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL Injection in Django","id":"CVE-2021-35042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Django","id":"CVE-2020-7471","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can redirect users to arbitrary sites or conduct phishing/XSS attacks via URLs with basic authentication in Django.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2512/"}
