"The version of protobuf installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-4565 advisory.

  - Any project that uses Protobuf Pure-Python backend to parse untrusted Protocol Buffers data containing an
    arbitrary number of recursive groups, recursive messages or a series of SGROUP tags can be corrupted by
    exceeding the Python recursion limit. This can result in a Denial of service by crashing the application
    with a RecursionError. We recommend upgrading to version =>6.31.1 or beyond commit
    17838beda2943d08b8a9d4df5b68f5f04f26d901 (CVE-2025-4565)
