"The version of python38 installed on the remote host is prior to 3.8.5-1.11. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2024-1936 advisory.

  - An issue was found in the CPython `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory` class affecting versions 3.12.1, 3.11.7,
    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)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
