The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6801-1 advisory.
It was discovered that PyMySQL incorrectly escaped untrusted JSON input. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform SQL injection attacks.
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.
