"The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.10 / 26.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8232-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Django did not vary cached response headers on cookies when sessions were not
    modified while SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST was enabled. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to
    steal a user's session. (CVE-2026-35192)

    Kyle Agronick and Jacob Walls discovered that Django incorrectly handled ASGI requests with missing or
    understated Content-Length header values. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Django
    to use excessive resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2026-5766)

    Ahmad Sadeddin discovered that Django UpdateCacheMiddleware incorrectly cached requests where the Vary
    header contained an asterisk. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive
    information. (CVE-2026-6907)

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
