While the former +were correctly escaped, the latter were not. Thus untrusted content could be +injected into the admin, presenting an exploitation vector for XSS attacks. + +In this vulnerability, every model attribute used in ``readonly_fields`` that +is not an actual model field (e.g. a :class:`property`) will **fail to be +escaped** even if that attribute is not marked as safe. In this release, +autoescaping is now correctly applied. Bugfixes ======== |
