  - An issue was found in the CPython `zipfile` module affecting versions 3.12.1, 3.11.7, 3.10.13, 3.9.18, and
    3.8.18 and prior. The zipfile module is vulnerable to quoted-overlap zip-bombs which exploit the zip
    format to create a zip-bomb with a high compression ratio. The fixed versions of CPython makes the zipfile
    module reject zip archives which overlap entries in the archive. (CVE-2024-0450)

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