"The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
UTSA-2026-099473 advisory.

    An issue was discovered in Django 6.0 before 6.0.6 and 5.2 before 5.2.15.
    `django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend` in Django fails to prevent reuse of a partially-initialized
    connection after a failed `STARTTLS` handshake when `fail_silently=True`, which allows on-path network
    attackers to read email content via cleartext interception.
    Earlier, unsupported Django series (such as 5.0.x, 4.1.x, and 3.2.x) were not evaluated and may also be
    affected.
    Django would like to thank Kasper Dupont for reporting this issue.

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.");
