CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Django (Content Management System). This vulnerability affects the function django.util.http.is_safe_url of the component Redirect Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

The django.util.http.is_safe_url function in Django 1.4 before 1.4.13, 1.5 before 1.5.8, 1.6 before 1.6.5, and 1.7 before 1.7b4 does not properly validate URLs, which allows remote attackers to conduct open redirect attacks via a malformed URL, as demonstrated by "http:\\\djangoproject.com."

The weakness was published 05/14/2014 by Peter Kuma and Gavin Wahl as Security releases issued as confirmed blog post (Website). The advisory is shared for download at djangoproject.com. This vulnerability was named CVE-2014-3730 since 05/14/2014. The attack can be initiated remotely. No form of authentication is required for a successful exploitation. There are known technical details, but no exploit is available. The advisory points out:

Django relies on user input in some cases (e.g. django.contrib.auth.views.login, django.contrib.comments, and i18n) to redirect the user to an "on success" URL. The security checks for these redirects (namely django.util.http.is_safe_url()) did not correctly validate some malformed URLs, such as http:\\\djangoproject.com, which are accepted by some browsers with more liberal URL parsing.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 74097 (Debian DSA-2934-1 : python-django - security update), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 167246 (OpenSuSE Security Update for python-django (openSUSE-SU-2014:1132-1)).

Upgrading to version 1.4.13, 1.5.8, 1.6.5 or 1.7 beta 4 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability. The blog post contains the following remark:

To remedy this, the validation in is_safe_url() has been tightened to be able to handle and correctly validate these malformed URLs.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (93158), Tenable (74097), SecurityFocus (BID 67410†), Secunia (SA58638†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-47192†). Similar entries are available at VDB-10295, VDB-13065, VDB-13064 and VDB-13063. Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
