Django
PyPIdjangoDjango 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.

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.
