"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-013020 advisory.

    Allows modifying some file metadata (e.g. last modified) with filter=dataor file permissions (chmod)
    with filter=tarof files outside the extraction directory.
    You are affected by this vulnerability if using the tarfilemodule to extract untrusted tar archives
    using TarFile.extractall()or TarFile.extract()using the filter=parameter with a value of dataor
    tar. See the tarfile  extraction filters documentation
    https://docs.python.org/3/library/tarfile.html#tarfile-extraction-filter for more information. Only
    Python versions 3.12 or later are affected by these vulnerabilities, earlier versions don't include the
    extraction filter feature.

    Note that for Python 3.14 or later the default value of filter=changed from no filtering to `data,
    so if you are relying on this new default behavior then your usage is also affected.

    Note that none of these vulnerabilities significantly affect the installation of source distributions
    which are tar archives as source distributions already allow arbitrary code execution during the build
    process. However when evaluating source distributions it's important to avoid installing source
    distributions with suspicious links.

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.");
