Machine-written summary

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

Versions of djust before 1.0.7 are affected. On the WebSocket/SSE mount path, Django authorization such as LoginRequiredMixin, PermissionRequiredMixin, and the djust admin staff gate is not enforced, though it is enforced on the HTTP GET. An anonymous or under-privileged client that can open a WebSocket can mount such views, including admin pages, and invoke their handlers. Upgrade to djust 1.0.7. Until then, protect views with djust's own login_required, permission_required, or check_permissions attributes, which apply on all transports.
