"The version of CBL-Mariner Releases 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-2025-66418 advisory.

  - urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. Starting in version 1.24 and prior to 2.6.0,
    the number of links in the decompression chain was unbounded allowing a malicious server to insert a
    virtually unlimited number of compression steps leading to high CPU usage and massive memory allocation
    for the decompressed data. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.0. (CVE-2025-66418)
