DjangoCRM ships with its Django SECRETKEY hardcoded directly in the committed webcrm/settings.py rather than read from an environment variable. Since this key is used for session signing, CSRF token generation, and password reset tokens, anyone who reads the public repository can forge valid session cookies (including for the superadmin account), forge CSRF tokens, and forge password reset tokens, achieving full account takeover.

DjangoCRM's toggledefaultsorting view is the only route in common/urls.py that is not wrapped in loginrequired or staffmemberrequired, and it redirects to a caller-supplied nexturl GET parameter after only checking secureurl(nexturl), which merely verifies the target host matches the current site's domain (blocking only cross-domain redirects) while allowing any same-site path with no authentication required to reach the view.
