PyPI: django-rest-registration
CVE-2019-13177
Safety vulnerability ID: SFTY-20190702-36732
Safety legacy ID: pyup.io-37266
Django-rest-registration 0.5.0 includes a fix for CVE-2019-13177: verification.py in django-rest-registration before 0.5.0 relies on a static string for signatures (i.e., the Django Signing API is misused), which allows remote attackers to spoof the verification process. This occurs because incorrect code refactoring led to calling a security-critical function with an incorrect argument.
