The version of python3 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.7.10-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2317 advisory.

    2024-08-28: CVE-2022-48564 was added to this advisory.

    2023-10-30: CVE-2020-26116 was added to this advisory.

    2023-10-30: CVE-2020-27619 was added to this advisory.

    A flaw was found in Python. The built-in modules httplib and http.client (included in Python 2 and Python     3, respectively) do not properly validate CRLF sequences in the HTTP request method, potentially allowing     manipulation to the request by injecting additional HTTP headers. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to confidentiality and integrity. (CVE-2020-26116)

    In Python3's Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content retrieved via HTTP.
    (CVE-2020-27619)

    read_ints in plistlib.py in Python through 3.9.1 is vulnerable to a potential DoS attack via CPU and RAM     exhaustion when processing malformed Apple Property List files in binary format. (CVE-2022-48564)

    An XML External Entity (XXE) issue was discovered in Python through 3.9.1. The plistlib module no longer     accepts entity declarations in XML plist files to avoid XML vulnerabilities. (CVE-2022-48565)

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

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