Django CVE-2019-12308 Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability

Django is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
The following products are affected:
Django master development branch
Django 2.2 prior to version 2.2.2
Django 2.1 prior to version 2.1.9
Django 1.11 prior to version 1.11.21
