"The version of 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-2025-4138 advisory.
- Allows the extraction filter to be ignored, allowing symlink targets to point outside the destination
directory, and the modification of some file metadata. You are affected by this vulnerability if using the
tarfile module to extract untrusted tar archives using TarFile.extractall() or TarFile.extract() using the
filter= parameter with a value of data or tar. See the tarfile extraction filters documentation
https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter for more information. Note that
for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter= changed from no filtering to `data, so if you
are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected. Note that none of these
vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions which are tar archives as
source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build process. However when
evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source distributions with suspicious
links. (CVE-2025-4138)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
