The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-b72bc39c00 advisory.

  • When installing a package from a Mercurial VCS URL (ie pip install hg+…) with pip prior to v23.3, the specified Mercurial revision could be used to inject arbitrary configuration options to the hg clone call (ie --config). Controlling the Mercurial configuration can modify how and which repository is installed. This vulnerability does not affect users who aren’t installing from Mercurial. (CVE-2023-5752)

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