Impact

With Django Debug Toolbar attackers are able to execute SQL by changing the raw_sql input of the SQL explain, analyze or select forms and submitting the form.

NOTE: This is a high severity issue for anyone using the toolbar in a production environment.

Generally the Django Debug Toolbar team only maintains the latest version of django-debug-toolbar, but an exception was made because of the high severity of this issue.
