"The version of python installed on the remote host is prior to 2.7.18-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2744 advisory.

    CPython 3.9 and earlier doesn't disallow configuring an empty list for SSLContext.set_npn_protocols()
    which is an invalid value for the underlying OpenSSL API. This results in a buffer over-read when NPN is
    used (see CVE-2024-5535 for OpenSSL). This vulnerability is of low severity due to NPN being not widely
    used and specifying an empty list likely being uncommon in-practice (typically a protocol name would be
    configured). (CVE-2024-5642)

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.");
