CVE-2026-71238
Last modified
CVE-2026-71238 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. DjangoCRM ships with its Django SECRET_KEY hardcoded directly in the committed webcrm/settings.py rather than read from an environment variable. Since this key is used for session signing, CSRF token generation, and password reset tokens, anyone who reads the public repository can forge valid session cookies (including for the superadmin account), forge CSRF tokens, and forge password reset tokens, achieving full account takeover.. EPSS estimates a 0.31% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
