A suitably crafted email address (that is equal to an existing user's email address after case transformation of Unicode characters) would allow an attacker to be sent a password reset token for the matched user account. (One mitigation in the new releases is to send password reset tokens only to the registered user email address.)","published":"2019-12-18T19:15:12.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:27:20.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"cve@mitre.org","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-640"],"affected":["djangoproject/django","canonical/ubuntu linux"],"epss":{"score":0.53561,"percentile":0.98985,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":1,"verified":true,"firstPublished":"2019-12-24","source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[{"edbId":47879,"kind":"exploit","title":"Django < 3.0 < 2.2 < 1.11 - Account Hijack","url":"https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/47879","sourceUrl":"https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb/-/blob/main/exploits/python/webapps/47879.md","file":"exploits/python/webapps/47879.md","published":"2019-12-24","added":"2020-01-06","updated":"2020-04-13","author":"Ryuji Tsutsui","type":"webapps","platform":"python","port":null,"verified":true,"codes":["CVE-2019-19844"],"tags":null,"aliases":null,"applicationUrl":null,"screenshotUrl":null,"referenceUrl":"https://ryu22e.org/en/posts/2019/12/25/django-cve-2019-19844/"}]},"verdict":{"level":"urgent","text":"EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 53.6%, higher than 99% of all known CVEs.
