"The remote Rocky Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
RLSA-2021:4158 advisory.

  - An XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml's clean module versions before 4.6.3. When disabling
    the safe_attrs_only and forms arguments, the Cleaner class does not remove the formaction attribute
    allowing for JS to bypass the sanitizer. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary JS
    code on users who interact with incorrectly sanitized HTML. This issue is patched in lxml 4.6.3.
    (CVE-2021-28957)

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