Subject: Django: CVE-2019-12781: Incorrect HTTP detection with reverse-proxy
 connecting via HTTPS

https://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2019/jul/01/security-releases/

In accordance with `our security release policy 
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/security/>`_, the 
Django team is issuing `Django 1.11.22 
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.11.22/>`_, `Django 
2.1.10 <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/2.1.10/>`_, and 
`Django 2.2.3 <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/2.2.3/>`_. 
These releases addresses the security issues detailed below. We 
encourage all users of Django to upgrade as soon as possible.

Thanks Gavin Wahl for reporting this issue.

CVE-2019-12781: Incorrect HTTP detection with reverse-proxy connecting 
via HTTPS
================================================================================

When deployed behind a reverse-proxy connecting to Django via HTTPS, 
``django.http.HttpRequest.scheme`` would incorrectly detect client 
requests made via HTTP as using HTTPS. This entails incorrect results 
for ``is_secure()``, and ``build_absolute_uri()``, and that HTTP 
requests would not be redirected to HTTPS in accordance with 
``SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT``.

``HttpRequest.scheme`` now respects ``SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER``, if it 
is configured, and the appropriate header is set on the request, for 
both HTTP and HTTPS requests.

If you deploy Django behind a reverse-proxy that forwards HTTP requests, 
and that connects to Django via HTTPS, be sure to verify that your 
application
correctly handles code paths relying on ``scheme``, ``is_secure()``, 
``build_absolute_uri()``, and ``SECURE_SSL_REDIRECT``.

* Django master development branch
* Django 2.2 before version 2.2.3
