Django is the most widely used full-stack Python web framework, providing an ORM, authentication system, admin interface, and template engine. It powers a large share of Python web applications across industries. The Django ORM reads database credentials from settings.py, and the auth system handles plaintext passwords during login.

attack surface

Why this package is monitored

Full-stack web frameworks process authentication requests, including plaintext passwords before hashing. A compromised version can capture passwords at the login step and exfiltrate session tokens and database credentials loaded from the settings module.
