"The version of python3-requests installed on the remote host is prior to 2.14.2-2. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2846 advisory.

    Requests is a HTTP library. Prior to 2.32.0, when making requests through a Requests `Session`, if the
    first request is made with `verify=False` to disable cert verification, all subsequent requests to the
    same host will continue to ignore cert verification regardless of changes to the value of `verify`. This
    behavior will continue for the lifecycle of the connection in the connection pool. This vulnerability is
    fixed in 2.32.0. (CVE-2024-35195)

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.");
