The remote openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3836-1 advisory.

  • A XSS vulnerability was discovered in python-lxml’s clean module. The module’s parser didn’t properly imitate browsers, which caused different behaviors between the sanitizer and the user’s page. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to run arbitrary HTML/JS code. (CVE-2020-27783)

  • 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 these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
