What is CVE-2026-71240?
CVE-2026-71240 is a medium-severity vulnerability in DjangoCRM django-crm, published on 5 Aug 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
DjangoCRM's toggle_default_sorting view is the only route in common/urls.py that is not wrapped in login_required or staff_member_required, and it redirects to a caller-supplied next_url GET parameter after only checking secure_url(next_url), which merely verifies the target host matches the current site's domain (blocking only cross-domain redirects) while allowing any same-site path with no authentication required to reach the view.
Weakness: CWE-601
