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

    An undocumented and unsafe feature in the PLY (Python Lex-Yacc) library 3.11 allows Remote Code Execution
    (RCE) via the `picklefile` parameter in the `yacc()` function. This parameter accepts a `.pkl` file that
    is deserialized with `pickle.load()` without validation. Because `pickle` allows execution of embedded
    code via `__reduce__()`, an attacker can achieve code execution by passing a malicious pickle file. The
    parameter is not mentioned in official documentation or the GitHub repository, yet it is active in the
    PyPI version. This introduces a stealthy backdoor and persistence risk. NOTE: A third-party states that
    this vulnerability should be rejected because the proof of concept does not demonstrate arbitrary code
    execution and fails to complete successfully.(CVE-2025-56005)

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

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