CVE-2026-71240 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 4.3) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
DjangoCRM's toggle_default_sorting view is the only route in common/urls.py that is not wrapped in login_required or staff_member_required, and it redirects to a caller-supplied next_url GET parameter after only checking secure_url(next_url), which merely verifies the target host matches the current site's domain (blocking only cross-domain redirects) while allowing any same-site path with no authentication required to reach the view.
Why this priority
- No elevated risk signals yet
No fix is published yet: follow the downgrade or mitigation steps.
