django -- XSS vulnerability

Description:

Django project reports:

The Django administration application will, when accessed by a user who is not sufficiently authenticated, display a login form and ask the user to provide the necessary credentials before displaying the requested page. This form will be submitted to the URL the user attempted to access, by supplying the current request path as the value of the form's "action" attribute.

The value of the request path was not being escaped, creating an opportunity for a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack by leading a user to a URL which contained URL-encoded HTML and/or JavaScript in the request path.
