High (7.5). EPSS 3.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in django 1.11.23, 2.1.11, 2.2.4.

An issue was discovered in Django 1.11.x before 1.11.23, 2.1.x before 2.1.11, and 2.2.x before 2.2.4. Due to the behaviour of the underlying HTMLParser, django.utils.html.strip_tags would be extremely slow to evaluate certain inputs containing large sequences of nested incomplete HTML entities.
