Why Django Apps Get Hacked
Django is secure by default in many ways, which is precisely why the dangerous bugs come from overriding those defaults. Shipping with DEBUG = True leaks your settings, environment, and stack traces to the world. SECRET_KEY exposure breaks session and CSRF integrity. The /admin/ panel left at its default path invites brute force. We scan for the Django-specific configuration failures.
Common Django Vulnerabilities
DEBUG = True in production
A debug page exposes settings, environment variables, installed apps, and full stack traces — a complete map of your application to any attacker who triggers an error.
Exposed SECRET_KEY
If SECRET_KEY leaks (committed to git, in a public bundle), attackers can forge sessions and bypass CSRF protection.
Default /admin/ exposed
The Django admin at its default path with no IP allowlist or rate limiting is a constant brute-force target.
SSTI / template injection
Rendering user input through the template engine (or unsafe use of |safe / mark_safe) can lead to server-side template injection and XSS.
Misconfigured ALLOWED_HOSTS / CORS
A wildcard ALLOWED_HOSTS or over-broad django-cors-headers config enables host-header attacks and cross-origin abuse.
What the Sable Scan Checks
Exposed secrets & API keys
We scan your client-side bundles and responses for leaked API keys, tokens, database URLs, and 100+ secret patterns that ship to the browser by accident.
Security headers & TLS
HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, and TLS protocol/cipher configuration — graded A-F with copy-paste fixes.
CORS & access control
Overly permissive CORS, wildcard origins with credentials, and broken object-level authorization (IDOR/BOLA) where one user can reach another user's data.
Injection & API surface
SQL/NoSQL injection, exposed OpenAPI/Swagger specs, GraphQL introspection, mass assignment, missing rate limits, and excessive data exposure.
OWASP Top 10 coverage
Autonomous pentesting agents test against the full OWASP Top 10 2025, validate each finding with a proof-of-concept, and re-test after you fix.
Validated findings, not noise
Every reported issue is confirmed by an agent before it reaches you — so you get real, exploitable findings with severity and remediation, not scanner spam.
