"It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1002 advisory.
Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. When Tornado's ``multipart/form-
data`` parser encounters certain errors, it logs a warning but continues trying to parse the remainder of
the data. This allows remote attackers to generate an extremely high volume of logs, constituting a DoS
attack. This DoS is compounded by the fact that the logging subsystem is synchronous. All versions of
Tornado prior to 6.5.0 are affected. The vulnerable parser is enabled by default. Upgrade to Tornado
version 6.50 to receive a patch. As a workaround, risk can be mitigated by blocking `Content-Type:
multipart/form-data` in a proxy. (CVE-2025-47287)
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.");
