"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has fonttools packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:
- fontTools is a library for manipulating fonts, written in Python. The subsetting module has a XML External
Entity Injection (XXE) vulnerability which allows an attacker to resolve arbitrary entities when a
candidate font (OT-SVG fonts), which contains a SVG table, is parsed. This allows attackers to include
arbitrary files from the filesystem fontTools is running on or make web requests from the host system.
This vulnerability has been patched in version 4.43.0. (CVE-2023-45139)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
