GHSA-x9jp-4w8m-4f3c: 
Python vulnerability analysis and mitigation

A high-severity Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in django-jsonform's admin form, identified as GHSA-x9jp-4w8m-4f3c. The vulnerability was published on June 10, 2022, and affects django-jsonform versions prior to 2.10.1. The issue specifically impacts admin pages where django-jsonform is rendered (GitHub Advisory).

The vulnerability stems from django-jsonform's handling of JSON data in the admin interface. The application stores raw JSON data in a hidden textarea on the admin page, but critically, this data is unescaped using the safe template filter before being stored. This implementation creates a potential vector for Cross-Site Scripting attacks. The vulnerability has been classified under CWE-79 and CWE-80, indicating improper neutralization of input during web page generation (GitHub Advisory).

The vulnerability affects the security of admin pages where django-jsonform is implemented. By exploiting this XSS vulnerability, attackers could potentially execute malicious scripts through the admin interface, compromising the security of the application (GitHub Advisory).

Users are advised to upgrade to django-jsonform version 2.10.1 or later, which contains the patch for this vulnerability. This version implements proper escaping of JSON data in the admin interface, preventing the XSS attack vector (GitHub Advisory).
