Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

CVE-2023-43665

Severity High
Score 7.5/10

Summary

In Django 1.11.23 through 1.11.29, 2.1 through 2.1.10, 2.2.4 through 2.2.28, 3.0a1 through 3.2.22, 4.0a1 through 4.1.11, 4.2a1 through 4.2.5, and 5.0a1 the "django.utils.text.Truncator chars()" and "words()" methods (when used with "html=True") are subject to a potential DoS (Denial of Service) attack via certain inputs with very long, potentially malformed HTML text. The "chars()" and "words()" methods are used to implement the "truncatechars_html" and "truncatewords_html" template filters, which are thus also vulnerable. NOTE: This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-14232.
