Static String Misuse in Verification Process of Django REST Registration Library

CVE-2019-13177 · HIGH Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

verification.py in django-rest-registration (aka Django REST Registration library) before 0.5.0 relies on a static string for signatures (i.e., the Django Signing API is misused), which allows remote attackers to spoof the verification process. This occurs because incorrect code refactoring led to calling a security-critical function with an incorrect argument.
