"The detected version of the Django Python package is 5.2.x prior to 5.2.17 or 6.0.x prior to 6.0.8. It is,
therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including:

  - GeoDjango spatial lookups pass untrusted input to the GDALRaster constructor, allowing an attacker to write
    arbitrary files via a file-backed GDAL driver or trigger outbound network requests via GDAL virtual filesystem
    handlers, potentially resulting in remote code execution. (CVE-2026-15307)

  - django.contrib.admin.utils.display_for_field() renders URLField values as clickable links without validating
    the URL scheme, allowing cross-site scripting against staff users who click a link with an unsafe scheme stored
    in the database. (CVE-2026-15920)

  - django.utils.translation.check_for_language() retains many distinct, very long language codes as keys in an
    in-memory cache, allowing a potential denial-of-service attack that consumes process memory. (CVE-2026-15337)

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