Django Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal) Vulnerability - CVE-2021-33203

High
Reference: CVE-2021-33203
Title: Django Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal) Vulnerability
Overview:

Django before 2.2.24 3.x before 3.1.12 and 3.2.x before 3.2.4 has a potential directory traversal via django.contrib.admindocs. Staff members could use the TemplateDetailView view to check the existence of arbitrary files. Additionally if (and only if) the default admindocs templates have been customized by application developers to also show file contents then not only the existence but also the file contents would have been exposed. In other words there is directory traversal outside of the template root directories.
