Fixed In Version: Django 3.2.4, Django 3.1.12, Django 2.2.24
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in django. Staff members could use the :mod:`~django.contrib.admindocs` ``TemplateDetailView`` view to check the existence of arbitrary files. Additionally, if (and only if) the default admindocs templates have been customized by the developers to also expose the file contents, then not only the existence but also the file contents would have been exposed. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality.

Description Pedro Sampaio 2021-05-31 18:05:07 UTC
Staff members could use the :mod:`~django.contrib.admindocs` ``TemplateDetailView`` view to check the existence of arbitrary files.
Additionally, if (and only if) the default admindocs templates have been customized by the developers to also expose the file contents, then not only
the existence but also the file contents would have been exposed.

As a mitigation, path sanitation is now applied and only files within the
template root directories can be loaded.

Comment 7 Yadnyawalk Tale 2021-06-04 19:52:35 UTC
For 1.11.x streams, code uses `os.path` instead of `pathlib.Path` but as the template input does not goes through `safe_join` this stream must be also affected by the vulnerability. However, as Django 1.11 LTS ended its extended support on April 1, 2020, we do not have its official fix from Django team.

Comment 13 Tapas Jena 2021-06-18 15:42:23 UTC
Analysis is complete for Ansible. As a result, it was found that, AAP 1.2 is using the affected version of DJango, however, the vulnerable functionality i.e. admindocs/admin_doc TemplateDetailView which causes the exploit is nowhere in use in any components of Ansible. Hence, marking Ansible as affected for this vulnerability by reducing the severity from "medium" to "low" and making it as "delegated".

Comment 15 Tapas Jena 2021-06-18 15:45:54 UTC
Tracker for Ansible Tower 3.6 has been skipped as its already EOL.
