pip show django-spirit

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2022-0869, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show django-spirit

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Django spirit in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.12.3), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show django-spirit command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect'), where the web application accepts a user-controlled input that specifies a link to an external site, and uses that link in a redirect.

Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

django-spirit prior to version 0.12.3 is vulnerable to open redirect.
