Important
This version of django CMS introduces a new setting:
CMS_UNESCAPED_RENDER_MODEL_TAGS
with a default value of True. This default
value allows upgrades to occur without forcing django CMS users to do
anything, but, please be aware that this setting continues to allow known
security vulnerabilities to be present. Due to this, the new setting is
immediately deprecated and will be removed in a near-future release.
To immediately improve the security of your project and to prepare for
future releases of django CMS and related addons, the project
administrator should carefully review each use of the render_model
template tags provided by django CMS. He or she is encouraged to ensure
that all content which is rendered to a page using this template tag is
cleansed of any potentially harmful HTML markup, CSS styles or JavaScript.
Once the administrator or developer is satisfied that the content is
clean, he or she can add the “safe” filter parameter to the render_model
template tag if the content should be rendered without escaping. If there
is no need to render the content un-escaped, no further action
is required.
Once all template tags have been reviewed and adjusted where necessary,
the administrator should set CMS_UNESCAPED_RENDER_MODEL_TAGS = False
in the project settings. At that point, the project is more secure and
will be ready for any future upgrades.
