CVE-2017-12794

38
FAUCET Score

CVE-2017-12794 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Django versions 1.10.x before 1.10.8 and 1.11.x before 1.11.5. This flaw occurs when the technical 500 debug page is enabled (DEBUG = True), as HTML autoescaping was disabled in a portion of its template. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 6.1), it has a network attack vector, low complexity, and requires user interaction, potentially leading to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts. While not listed in CISA KEV, a Nuclei template exists for detection, but there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit modules, or significant community discussion.
