CVE-2014-0480: Input Validation
First published: Tue Aug 26 2014(Updated: )
The `core.urlresolvers.reverse` function in Django before 1.4.14, 1.5.x before 1.5.9, 1.6.x before 1.6.6, and 1.7 before release candidate 3 does not properly validate URLs, which allows remote attackers to conduct phishing attacks via a `//` (slash slash) in a URL, which triggers a scheme-relative URL to be generated.
