The version of python38 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.8.16-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2PYTHON3.8-2024-011 advisory.

An issue was found in the CPython `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory` class affecting versions 3.12.2, 3.11.8,     3.10.13, 3.9.18, and 3.8.18 and prior.

The tempfile.TemporaryDirectory class would dereference symlinks during cleanup of permissions-related     errors. This means users which can run privileged programs are potentially able to modify permissions of     files referenced by symlinks in some circumstances. (CVE-2023-6597)

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.
