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 ALAS2-2021-1670 advisory.
http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5 allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR and LF control characters in the first argument of HTTPConnection.request. (CVE-2020-26116)
In Python 3 through 3.9.0, the Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content retrieved via HTTP. (CVE-2020-27619)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
