Description

In Django 3.2 before 3.2.25, 4.2 before 4.2.11, and 5.0 before 5.0.3, the django.utils.text.Truncator.words() method (with html=True) and the truncatewords_html template filter are subject to a potential regular expression denial-of-service attack via a crafted string. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-14232 and CVE-2023-43665.

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

3.2 ≤ v < 3.2.254.2 ≤ v < 4.2.115.0 ≤ v < 5.0.3
5.0 ≤ v < 5.0.35.0
Affected range stops below 5.0.3, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
