Description
An issue was discovered in Django 4.2 before 4.2.21, 5.1 before 5.1.9, and 5.2 before 5.2.1. The django.utils.html.strip_tags() function is vulnerable to a potential denial-of-service (slow performance) when processing inputs containing large sequences of incomplete HTML tags. The template filter striptags is also vulnerable, because it is built on top of strip_tags().
Affected configurations
• djangoproject django (>= 4.2.0 < 4.2.21)
• djangoproject django (>= 5.1 < 5.1.9)
• djangoproject django 5.2
