CVE-2017-12794 Information

Description

In Django 1.10.x before 1.10.8 and 1.11.x before 1.11.5 HTML autoescaping was disabled in a portion of the template for the technical 500 debug page. Given the right circumstances this allowed a cross-site scripting attack. This vulnerability shouldn’t affect most production sites since you shouldn’t run with \DEBUG = True\ (which makes this page accessible) in your production settings.
