    An issue was discovered in urllib3 before 1.26.5. When provided with a URL containing many @ characters in
    the authority component, the authority regular expression exhibits catastrophic backtracking, causing a
    denial of service if a URL were passed as a parameter or redirected to via an HTTP redirect.

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
