According to the version of the python-lxml packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  • A XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml’s clean module. The module’s parser didn’t properly imitate browsers, which caused different behaviors between the sanitizer and the user’s page. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary HTML/JS code.(CVE-2020-27783)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
