The remote Debian 10 / 11 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-4970 advisory.

  • An issue was discovered in views/list.py in GNU Mailman Postorius before 1.3.5. An attacker (logged into any account) can send a crafted POST request to unsubscribe any user from a mailing list, also revealing whether that address was subscribed in the first place. (CVE-2021-40347)

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