CVE-2023-36053
In Django 3.2 before 3.2.20, 4 before 4.1.10, and 4.2 before 4.2.3, EmailValidator and URLValidator are subject to a potential ReDoS (regular expression denial of service) attack via a very large number of domain name labels of emails and URLs.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.98%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
