"A flaw was found in Python, specifically within the urllib.parse
module. This module helps break Uniform Resource Locator (URL) strings
into components. The issue involves how the urlparse method does not
sanitize input and allows characters like '\r' and '\n' in the URL
path. This flaw allows an attacker to input a crafted URL, leading to
injection attacks. This flaw affects Python versions prior to
3.10.0b1, 3.9.5, 3.8.11, 3.7.11 and 3.6.14.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
