It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-653 advisory.

A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the jaraco/zipp library, affecting all versions prior to     3.19.1. The vulnerability is triggered when processing a specially crafted zip file that leads to an     infinite loop. This issue also impacts the zipfile module of CPython, as features from the third-party     zipp library are later merged into CPython, and the affected code is identical in both projects. The     infinite loop can be initiated through the use of functions affecting the `Path` module in both zipp and     zipfile, such as `joinpath`, the overloaded division operator, and `iterdir`. Although the infinite loop     is not resource exhaustive, it prevents the application from responding. The vulnerability was addressed     in version 3.19.1 of jaraco/zipp. (CVE-2024-5569)

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
