The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6792-1 advisory.

Naom Moshe discovered that Flask-Security incorrectly validated URLs. An attacker could use this issue to     redirect users to arbitrary URLs.

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

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