Django ALLOWED_HOSTS allows any host

mediumFramework-awareframework:djangoCWE-16python

What it detects

`ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']` disables Django's Host-header validation, enabling Host-header poisoning and cache-poisoning attacks.

How it runs

Gated on framework detection: the repo's manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, pom.xml, Gemfile, composer.json) are read to identify the stack, and the rule only runs against matching-language files when its framework is present.
