  12. If the :class:`~django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware` and the
    
  13. :setting:`APPEND_SLASH` setting are both enabled, and if the project has a
    
  14. URL pattern that accepts any path ending in a slash (many content management
    
  15. systems have such a pattern), then a request to a maliciously crafted URL of
    
  16. that site could lead to a redirect to another site, enabling phishing and other
    
  17. attacks.
    
  18. 
    
  19. ``CommonMiddleware`` now escapes leading slashes to prevent redirects to other
    
  20. domains.
