Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Django-Select2 versions before 8.4.1 are affected. Widget instances of HeavySelect2Mixin subclasses, such as ModelSelect2Widget and ModelSelect2MultipleWidget, can share secret access tokens across requests, which may let users reach restricted querysets and data. Upgrade to django-select2 8.4.1 or later. Passing the widget class rather than a widget instance, where the code allows it, is listed as a mitigation.
