• Severity: critical (CVSS 9.8 v3.0)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 1.6% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: yes
• Published: 2019-07-02 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-347

Description

verification.py in django-rest-registration (aka Django REST Registration library) before 0.5.0 relies on a static string for signatures (i.e., the Django Signing API is misused), which allows remote attackers to spoof the verification process. This occurs because incorrect code refactoring led to calling a security-critical function with an incorrect argument.

Affected products

• Django-Rest-Registration Project Django-Rest-Registration: from 0.1.0 (excl.) before 0.5.0 — fixed in 0.5.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Django-Rest-Registration Project Django-Rest-Registration 0.5.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
