UTSA-2026-006157 advisory.

    urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. Starting in version 1.24 and prior to 2.6.0,
    the number of links in the decompression chain was unbounded allowing a malicious server to insert a
    virtually unlimited number of compression steps leading to high CPU usage and massive memory allocation
    for the decompressed data. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.0.

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

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