Vulnerability changelog

==========================

*September 3, 2024*

Django 5.1.1 fixes one security issue with severity "moderate", one security
issue with severity "low", and several bugs in 5.1.

CVE-2024-45230: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ``django.utils.html.urlize()``
===========================================================================================

:tfilter:`urlize` and :tfilter:`urlizetrunc` were subject to a potential
denial-of-service attack via very large inputs with a specific sequence of
characters.

CVE-2024-45231: Potential user email enumeration via response status on password reset
======================================================================================

Due to unhandled email sending failures, the
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.PasswordResetForm` class allowed remote
attackers to enumerate user emails by issuing password reset requests and
observing the outcomes.

To mitigate this risk, exceptions occurring during password reset email sending
are now handled and logged using the :ref:`django-contrib-auth-logger` logger.

Bugfixes
========

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.1 that caused a crash of ``Window()`` when
passing an empty sequence to the ``order_by`` parameter, and a crash of
``Prefetch()`` for a sliced queryset without ordering (:ticket:`35665`).

* Fixed a regression in Django 5.1 where a new ``usable_password`` field was
included in :class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.BaseUserCreationForm` (and
children). A new :class:`~django.contrib.auth.forms.AdminUserCreationForm`
including this field was added, isolating the feature to the admin where it
was intended (:ticket:`35678`).

* Adjusted the deprecation warning ``stacklevel`` in :meth:`.Model.save` and
:meth:`.Model.asave` to correctly point to the offending call site
(:ticket:`35060`).

* Adjusted the deprecation warning ``stacklevel`` when using ``OS_OPEN_FLAGS``
in :class:`~django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage` to correctly point
to the offending call site (:ticket:`35326`).

* Adjusted the deprecation warning ``stacklevel`` in
``FieldCacheMixin.get_cache_name()`` to correctly point to the offending call
site (:ticket:`35405`).

* Restored, following a regression in Django 5.1, the ability to override the
timezone and role setting behavior used within the ``init_connection_state``
method of the PostgreSQL backend (:ticket:`35688`).

* Fixed a bug in Django 5.1 where variable lookup errors were logged when
rendering admin fieldsets (:ticket:`35716`).
