Django security releases issued: 1.11.5 and 1.10.8

In accordance with our security release policy, the Django team is issuing Django 1.11.5 and Django 1.10.8. These release addresses the security issue detailed below. We encourage all users of Django to upgrade as soon as possible.

CVE-2017-12794: Possible XSS in traceback section of technical 500 debug page In older versions, HTML autoescaping was disabled in a portion of the template for the technical 500 debug page. Given the right circumstances, this allowed a cross-site scripting attack. This vulnerability shouldn't affect most production sites since you shouldn't run with DEBUG = True (which makes this page accessible) in your production settings. Thanks Charles Bideau for reporting this issue.

Affected supported versions Django master development branch

Django 1.11

Django 1.10 Per our supported versions policy, Django 1.9 is no longer supported. Django 1.8 is unaffected.
