"The detected version of the Django Python package, Django, is 4.2.x prior to 4.2.22, 5.1.x prior to 5.1.10 or 5.2.x
prior to  5.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by a log injection vulnerability as disclosed in Django's June 4th, 2025
security advisory. Internal HTTP response logging does not escape request.path, which allows remote attackers to
potentially manipulate log output via crafted URLs. This may lead to log injection or forgery when logs are viewed in
terminals or processed by external systems.

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