CVE-2018-16984 Information

Description

An issue was discovered in Django 2.1 before 2.1.2 in which unprivileged users can read the password hashes of arbitrary accounts. The read-only password widget used by the Django Admin to display an obfuscated password hash was bypassed if a user has only the \view\ permission (new in Django 2.1) resulting in display of the entire password hash to those users. This may result in a vulnerability for sites with legacy user accounts using insecure hashes.
