Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Django versions 4.2 before 4.2.14 and 5.0 before 5.0.7 are vulnerable to denial of service. The urlize and urlizetrunc functions can be slowed severely by specially crafted input containing a very large number of brackets, and the source does not describe any required access or user action. Upgrade to Django 4.2.14, 5.0.7, or later.
