djust has an authorization bypass on the WebSocket/SSE mount path
Quick fix
GHSA-xhhm-f6hp-2qwj — djust: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
pip install --upgrade 'djust>=1.0.7'Details
### Impact The live (WebSocket) transport authorizes a mount via `check_view_auth`, not Django's `View.dispatch()` chain. As a result, standard Django authorization — `LoginRequiredMixin`, `PermissionRequiredMixin`, `UserPassesTestMixin`, `@method_decorator(login_required, name="dispatch")`, and custom `dispatch()` guards — **and** the djust admin extension's staff gate (applied only in the HTTP `as_view` wrapper) were enforced on the initial HTTP GET but **silently bypassed over WebSocket**, where all events and state flow. An anonymous or under-privileged client could open a WebSocket and mount such a view — including admin list/create/change/delete — and dispatch its handlers.
### Patches Fixed in **djust 1.0.7**. `check_view_auth` now honors the Django `AccessMixin` family on every transport; a new system check **S004** fails loud at startup on auth patterns the runtime cannot safely replay (decorator/overridden-`dispatch` forms); and the admin base mixin declares `login_required = True` + an active-staff `check_permissions` gate.
### Workarounds Gate views using djust's `login_required` / `permission_required` / `check_permissions` attributes (honored on all transports) rather than HTTP-only mixins/decorators.
