How can I secure my Django application?

To secure your Django application, you should start by ensuring you have the latest version of Django installed. Regularly update your dependencies and use security features like CSRF protection, XSS protection, and secure password storage.

What are some common security vulnerabilities in Django?

Common vulnerabilities include SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), and insecure deserialization. It's important to validate and sanitize user inputs.

How can I protect against SQL injection?

Use Django's ORM to interact with the database, as it automatically escapes queries. Avoid raw SQL queries unless absolutely necessary, and always validate user inputs.

What is CSRF protection and how does Django handle it?

CSRF protection prevents unauthorized commands from being transmitted from a user that the web application trusts. Django includes built-in middleware to protect against CSRF attacks by requiring a token in forms.
