Django 5.1.8 release notes
==========================
*April 2, 2025*
Django 5.1.8 fixes a security issue with severity "moderate" and several bugs
in 5.1.7.
CVE-2025-27556: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in ``LoginView``, ``LogoutView``, and ``set_language()`` on Windows
=============================================================================================================================
Python's :func:`NFKC normalization <python:unicodedata.normalize>` is slow on
Windows. As a consequence, :class:`~django.contrib.auth.views.LoginView`,
:class:`~django.contrib.auth.views.LogoutView`, and
:func:`~django.views.i18n.set_language` were subject to a potential
denial-of-service attack via certain inputs with a very large number of Unicode
characters.
Bugfixes
========
* Fixed a regression in Django 5.1.7 where the removal of the ``single_object``
parameter unintentionally altered the signature and return type of
``LogEntryManager.log_actions()`` (:ticket:`36234`).
