A GitHub-reviewed security advisory, not necessarily under active exploitation the way our CISA KEV advisories are, but a real, disclosed vulnerability in an open-source dependency.
Affected packages
Vulnerable: < 1.0.7
Patched in 1.0.7
Details
When a Django Model instance is assigned to a public view attribute, djust serialized it to the client with no sensitive-field denylist — sending fields such as password (the hash), privilege flags (e.g. is_staff / is_superuser), tokens, and other PII to the browser. Because exposing model objects to templates is a normal djust pattern, this could leak credentials/PII without the developer realizing the full object crossed the wire.
Fixed in djust 1.0.7. Model serialization applies a secure-by-default sensitive-field denylist (password/hash/token/secret-style fields and known privilege flags are withheld) with an identity-subset fallback.
Keep Model instances on _private attributes and expose only the specific fields needed, until patched.
EPSS, exploit probability
Low0.39%
estimated chance of real-world exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 32.7% of every CVE FIRST.org scores
Refreshed 11/1/2026, via FIRST.org's EPSS model, not CVSS, this measures likelihood of exploitation, not how severe it would be.
