CVE-2026-71238

Severity CVSS v4.0:
Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-798 Use of Hard-coded Credentials
Publication date:

Description

DjangoCRM ships with its Django SECRET_KEY hardcoded directly in the committed webcrm/settings.py rather than read from an environment variable. Since this key is used for session signing, CSRF token generation, and password reset tokens, anyone who reads the public repository can forge valid session cookies (including for the superadmin account), forge CSRF tokens, and forge password reset tokens, achieving full account takeover.
