7.5/10

Summary

An issue was discovered in Django versions through 4.2.20, 5.0a1 through 5.1.8, and 5.2a1 through 5.2. The "django.utils.html.strip_tags()" function is vulnerable to a potential Denial-Of-Service (slow performance) when processing inputs containing large sequences of incomplete HTML tags. The template filter striptags is also vulnerable, because it is built on top of "strip_tags()".
