"The detected version of the Django Python package, Django, is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.21 or 5.1.x prior to 5.1.9 or 5.2.x 
prior to 5.2.1.

It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability as disclosed in Django's May 7th 2025 security 
advisory. The django.utils.html.strip_tags() function is vulnerable to a potential denial-of-service (slow performance) 
when processing inputs containing large sequences of incomplete HTML tags. The template filter striptags is also 
vulnerable, because it is built on top of strip_tags().

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
