The package python-django before version 2.2.3-1 is vulnerable to silent downgrade.
Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201907-2
=========================================
Severity: High
Date : 2019-07-06
CVE-ID : CVE-2019-12781
Package : python-django
Type : silent downgrade
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1000
Summary
=======
The package python-django before version 2.2.3-1 is vulnerable to
silent downgrade.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 2.2.3-1.
# pacman -Syu "python-django>=2.2.3-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 2.2.3.
Workaround
==========
None.
Description
===========
An HTTP request is not redirected to HTTPS when the
SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER and SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT settings are used, and
the proxy connects to Django via HTTPS. In other words,
django.http.HttpRequest.scheme has incorrect behavior when a client
uses HTTP.
Impact
======
A remote attacker is able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack if a
HTTP request is not redirected to HTTPS.
