"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-2016 advisory.

    Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6,
    SimpleAsyncHTTPClient shallow-copied redirected requests and removed only the Host header, leaving
    Authorization, auth_username, auth_password, and auth_mode in place when a redirect changed scheme, host,
    or port. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.6. (CVE-2026-49853)

    Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6, the optional native
    extension tornado.speedups implemented websocket_mask without validating that the mask argument is exactly
    four bytes, allowing the C function to read up to three bytes beyond the provided buffer when reached
    through Tornado XSRF token decoding with the native extension active. This issue is fixed in version
    6.5.6. (CVE-2026-49854)

    Tornado is a Python web framework and asynchronous networking library. Prior to 6.5.6, Tornado gzip
    decompression routines processed limited-size chunks but did not enforce an overall limit on accumulated
    decompressed chunks, allowing a malicious server accessed by SimpleAsyncHTTPClient or an HTTPServer
    configured with decompress_request=True to consume effectively unlimited memory. This issue is fixed in
    version 6.5.6. (CVE-2026-49855)

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.");
