According to the versions of the python-lxml package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in the ebookmeta.get_metadata function of lxml before v4.9.1     allows attackers to access sensitive information or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via crafted XML     input.(CVE-2024-37388)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS python-lxml security advisory.

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