The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6987-1 advisory.

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-45230)

It was discovered that Django incorrectly handled certain email sending failures. A remote attacker could     possibly use this issue to enumerate user emails by issuing password reset requests and observing the     outcomes. (CVE-2024-45231)

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

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