Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Django up to 1.6 (Content Management System). It has been rated as critical. This issue affects an unknown code block of the file template/defaulttags.py. The manipulation of the argument ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS with the input value ../ leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Directory traversal vulnerability in Django 1.4.x before 1.4.7, 1.5.x before 1.5.3, and 1.6.x before 1.6 beta 3 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a file path in the ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS setting followed by a .. (dot dot) in a ssi template tag.
