"The version of python-setuptools / python3 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It
is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-6345 advisory.
- A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote
code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs
provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these
functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands
on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0. (CVE-2024-6345)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
