Unprivileged Users Can Read Password Hashes in Django Admin

CVE-2018-16984 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:S/C:P/I:N/A:N

An issue was discovered in Django 2.1 before 2.1.2, in which unprivileged users can read the password hashes of arbitrary accounts. The read-only password widget used by the Django Admin to display an obfuscated password hash was bypassed if a user has only the "view" permission (new in Django 2.1), resulting in display of the entire password hash to those users. This may result in a vulnerability for sites with legacy user accounts using insecure hashes.
