Description msiddiqu 2020-01-07 07:38:15 UTC

Django before 1.11.27, 2.x before 2.2.9, and 3.x before 3.0.1 allows account takeover. A suitably crafted email address (that is equal to an existing user's email address after case transformation of Unicode characters) would allow an attacker to be sent a password reset token for the matched user account. (One mitigation in the new releases is to send password reset tokens only to the registered user email address.)

Comment 7 Riccardo Schirone 2020-01-08 15:45:02 UTC

This vulnerability can be exploited in applications that use PasswordResetForm.

Comment 16 Summer Long 2020-01-09 22:27:09 UTC

Mitigation:

Unless the password-reset form is disabled, this flaw can only be resolved by applying updates.

Comment 20 Summer Long 2021-01-14 05:36:00 UTC

Statement:

This flaw depends upon the use of Django's password reset functionality. The following products ship the flawed code but do not use this functionality:
* Red Hat Ceph Storage 2 and Red Hat Ceph Storage 3
* Red Hat Gluster Storage 3
* Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Provider Certification 1
* Red Hat OpenStack Platform, all versions.  No updates will be provided at this time for the RHOSP django package.
* Red Hat Satellite 6, all versions
