CVE-2026-61588: djust's Django model serialization has no sensitive-field denylist: password hashes, privilege flags, and PII on a public view attribute are sent to the client
When a Django Model instance is assigned to a public view attribute, djust serialized it to the client with no sensitive-field denylist — sending fields such as password (the hash), privilege flags (e.g. is_staff / is_superuser), tokens, and other PII to the browser. Because exposing model objects to templates is a normal djust pattern, this could leak credentials/PII without the developer realizing the full object crossed the wire.
