PYSEC-2018-3

Quick fix

PYSEC-2018-3 — django: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

pip install --upgrade 'django>=2.1.2'

Details

An issue was discovered in Django 2.1 before 2.1.2, in which unprivileged users can read the password hashes of arbitrary accounts. The read-only password widget used by the Django Admin to display an obfuscated password hash was bypassed if a user has only the "view" permission (new in Django 2.1), resulting in display of the entire password hash to those users. This may result in a vulnerability for sites with legacy user accounts using insecure hashes.
