python-django: CVE-2009-2659

Severity: Medium
Published: Jul 29, 2009, 12:00:00 AM UTC
Source: [NVD] · [CVE record]
EPSS: 2.28% · Oct 27, 2026

The Admin media handler in core/servers/basehttp.py in Django 1.0 and 0.96 does not properly map URL requests to expected "static media files," which allows remote attackers to conduct directory traversal attacks and read arbitrary files via a crafted URL.
