Tim Graham reports:

If an application allows users to specify an unvalidated format for dates and passes this format to the date filter, e.g. {{ last_updated|date:user_date_format }}, then a malicious user could obtain any secret in the application's settings by specifying a settings key instead of a date format. e.g. "SECRET_KEY" instead of "j/m/Y".
