"CPython 3.9 and earlier doesn't disallow configuring an empty list
([]) for SSLContext.set_npn_protocols() which is an invalid value
for the underlying OpenSSL API. This results in a buffer over-read
when NPN is used (see CVE-2024-5535 for OpenSSL). This vulnerability
is of low severity due to NPN being not widely used and specifying an
empty list likely being uncommon in-practice (typically a protocol
name would be configured).
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
