Django 4.1.13 release notes

November 1, 2023

Django 4.1.13 fixes a security issue with severity “moderate” in 4.1.12.

CVE-2023-46695: Potential denial of service vulnerability in UsernameField on Windows

The NFKC normalization is slow on
Windows. As a consequence, django.contrib.auth.forms.UsernameField was
subject to a potential denial of service attack via certain inputs with a very
large number of Unicode characters.

In order to avoid the vulnerability, invalid values longer than
UsernameField.max\_length are no longer normalized, since they cannot pass
validation anyway.
