Django Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests (HTTP Request Smuggling) Vulnerability - CVE-2021-23336

Medium
Reference: CVE-2021-23336
Title: Django Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests (HTTP Request Smuggling) Vulnerability
Overview:

The package python/cpython from 0 and before 3.6.13 from 3.7.0 and before 3.7.10 from 3.8.0 and before 3.8.8 from 3.9.0 and before 3.9.2 are vulnerable to Web Cache Poisoning via urllib.parse.parse_qsl and urllib.parse.parse_qs by using a vector called parameter cloaking. When the attacker can separate query parameters using a semicolon () they can cause a difference in the interpretation of the request between the proxy (running with default configuration) and the server. This can result in malicious requests being cached as completely safe ones as the proxy would usually not see the semicolon as a separator and therefore would not include it in a cache key of an unkeyed parameter.
