CVE-2023-23969
Last modified
CVE-2023-23969 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In Django 3.2 before 3.2.17, 4.0 before 4.0.9, and 4.1 before 4.1.6, the parsed values of Accept-Language headers are cached in order to avoid repetitive parsing. This leads to a potential denial-of-service vector via excessive memory usage if the raw value of Accept-Language headers is very large.. EPSS estimates a 47.10% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
