Django 1.4.14 fixes several security issues in 1.4.13.



:func:`~django.core.urlresolvers.reverse()` could generate URLs pointing to other hosts

=======================================================================================



In certain situations, URL reversing could generate scheme-relative URLs  (URLs

starting with two slashes), which could unexpectedly redirect a user  to a

different host. An attacker could exploit this, for example, by redirecting

users to a phishing site designed to ask for user's passwords.



To remedy this, URL reversing now ensures that no URL starts with two slashes

(//), replacing the second slash with its URL encoded counterpart (%2F). This

approach ensures that semantics stay the same, while making the URL relative to

the domain and not to the scheme.
