The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5948-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Werkzeug did not properly handle the parsing of nameless cookies. A remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to shadow other cookies. (CVE-2023-23934)

    It was discovered that Werkzeug could be made to process unlimited number of multipart form data parts. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Werkzeug to consume resources, leading to a denial     of service. (CVE-2023-25577)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
