============================================================================================
Django relies on user input in some cases (e.g.
-:func:`django.contrib.auth.views.login` and :doc:`i18n </topics/i18n/index>`)
+``django.contrib.auth.views.login()`` and :doc:`i18n </topics/i18n/index>`)
to redirect the user to an "on success" URL. The security check for these
redirects (namely ``django.utils.http.is_safe_url()``) considered some numeric
URLs (e.g. ``http:999999999``) "safe" when they shouldn't be.
