The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3536 advisory.
Set-Cookie
headers, it may send one client’s session
cookie to other clients. The severity depends on the application’s use of the session and the proxy’s behavior regarding cookies. The risk depends on all these conditions being met. 1. The application must be hosted behind a caching proxy that does not strip cookies or ignore responses with cookies. 2. The application sets session.permanent = True
3. The application does not access or modify the session at any point during a request. 4. SESSION_REFRESH_EACH_REQUEST
enabled (the default). 5. The application does not set a Cache-Control
header to indicate that a page is private or should not be cached. This happens because vulnerable versions of Flask only set the Vary: Cookie
header when the session is accessed or modified, not when it is refreshed (re-sent to update the expiration) without being accessed or modified. This issue has been fixed in versions 2.3.2 and 2.2.5. (CVE-2023-30861)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3536
advisory.
- Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework. When all of the following conditions are met, a
response containing data intended for one client may be cached and subsequently sent by the proxy to other
clients. If the proxy also caches `Set-Cookie` headers, it may send one client's `session` cookie to other
clients. The severity depends on the application's use of the session and the proxy's behavior regarding
cookies. The risk depends on all these conditions being met. 1. The application must be hosted behind a
caching proxy that does not strip cookies or ignore responses with cookies. 2. The application sets
`session.permanent = True` 3. The application does not access or modify the session at any point during a
request. 4. `SESSION_REFRESH_EACH_REQUEST` enabled (the default). 5. The application does not set a
`Cache-Control` header to indicate that a page is private or should not be cached. This happens because
vulnerable versions of Flask only set the `Vary: Cookie` header when the session is accessed or modified,
