+CVE-2017-12794: Possible XSS in traceback section of technical 500 debug page
+=============================================================================
+
+In older versions, 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.
