"The version of python38 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.8.5-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2PYTHON3.8-2023-009 advisory.
The CryptProtectMemory function in cng.sys (aka the Cryptography Next Generation driver) in the kernel-
mode drivers in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2 SP1,
Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, and Windows RT Gold and 8.1, when
the CRYPTPROTECTMEMORY_SAME_LOGON option is used, does not check an impersonation token's level, which
allows local users to bypass intended decryption restrictions by leveraging a service that (1) has a
named-pipe planting vulnerability or (2) uses world-readable shared memory for encrypted data, aka CNG
Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability or MSRC ID 20707. (CVE-2015-0010)
In Python3's Lib/test/multibytecodec_support.py CJK codec tests call eval() on content retrieved via HTTP.
(CVE-2020-27619)
A flaw was found in python-ipaddress. Improper input validation of octal strings in stdlib ipaddress
allows unauthenticated remote attackers to perform indeterminate SSRF, RFI, and LFI attacks on many
programs that rely on Python stdlib ipaddress. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data
integrity and system availability. (CVE-2021-29921)
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.");
