GHSA-pvg3-6q9j-mj3x
djust's Django model serialization has no sensitive-field denylist: password hashes, privilege flags, and PII on a public view attribute are sent to the client
Quick fix
GHSA-pvg3-6q9j-mj3x — djust: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'djust>=1.0.7'Details
### Impact When a Django `Model` instance is assigned to a **public** view attribute, djust serialized it to the client with **no sensitive-field denylist** — sending fields such as `password` (the hash), privilege flags (e.g. `is_staff` / `is_superuser`), tokens, and other PII to the browser. Because exposing model objects to templates is a normal djust pattern, this could leak credentials/PII without the developer realizing the full object crossed the wire.
### Patches Fixed in **djust 1.0.7**. Model serialization applies a secure-by-default sensitive-field denylist (password/hash/token/secret-style fields and known privilege flags are withheld) with an identity-subset fallback.
### Workarounds Keep `Model` instances on `_private` attributes and expose only the specific fields needed, until patched.
