CVE-2007-0404
bin/compile-messages.py in Django 0.95 does not quote argument strings before invoking the msgfmt program through the os.system function, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a (1) .po or (2) .mo file.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.65%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
