CVE-2018-16984
MEDIUM4.9EPSS 0.68%Django allows unprivileged users to read the password hashes of arbitrary accounts
Published: 10/3/2018Modified: 9/18/2024
Description
An issue was discovered in Django 2.1 before 2.1.2, in which unprivileged users can read the password hashes of arbitrary accounts. The read-only password widget used by the Django Admin to display an obfuscated password hash was bypassed if a user has only the "view" permission (new in Django 2.1), resulting in display of the entire password hash to those users. This may result in a vulnerability for sites with legacy user accounts using insecure hashes.
Affected packages (2)
- PyPI/django>= 2.1, < 2.1.2
- PyPI/django>= 2.1, < 2.1.2
