  9. CVE-2019-12308: AdminURLFieldWidget XSS
    
  10. ---------------------------------------
    
  11. 
    
  12. The clickable "Current URL" link generated by ``AdminURLFieldWidget`` displayed
    
  13. the provided value without validating it as a safe URL. Thus, an unvalidated
    
  14. value stored in the database, or a value provided as a URL query parameter
    
  15. payload, could result in an clickable JavaScript link.
    
  16. 
    
  17. ``AdminURLFieldWidget`` now validates the provided value using
    
  18. :class:`~django.core.validators.URLValidator` before displaying the clickable
    
  19. link. You may customize the validator by passing a ``validator_class`` kwarg to
    
  20. ``AdminURLFieldWidget.__init__()``, e.g. when using
    
  21. :attr:`~django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.formfield_overrides`.
