therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0088 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-24816:
    IPython (Interactive Python) is a command shell for interactive computing in multiple programming
    languages, originally developed for the Python programming language. Versions prior to 8.1.0 are subject
    to a command injection vulnerability with very specific prerequisites. This vulnerability requires that
    the function `IPython.utils.terminal.set_term_title` be called on Windows in a Python environment where
    ctypes is not available. The dependency on `ctypes` in `IPython.utils._process_win32` prevents the
    vulnerable code from ever being reached in the ipython binary. However, as a library that could be used by
    another tool `set_term_title` could be called and hence introduce a vulnerability. Should an attacker get
    untrusted input to an instance of this function they would be able to inject shell commands as current
    process and limited to the scope of the current process. Users of ipython as a library are advised to
    upgrade. Users unable to upgrade should ensure that any calls to the
    `IPython.utils.terminal.set_term_title` function are done with trusted or filtered input.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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