Submit #978642: django-haystack 3.3.0 Code Executioninfo

Titledjango-haystack 3.3.0 Code Execution
Descriptiondjango-haystack (django-haystack) up to 3.3.0 is vulnerable to template injection via eval() in the more_like_this template tag (CWE-95). The result_class parameter is passed directly to the Python built-in eval() function without input sanitization or restriction. An authenticated user with Django template editing privileges can inject arbitrary Python expressions, leading to remote code execution on the server. The vulnerability is documented in public GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-r3hx-x5rh-p9vv, which was published by the maintainer. The maintainer did not request a CVE. CVSS v3.1 Base Score 9.0 High (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H). Researcher: mohammad adnan (cystack.ps redteam).
