"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - A vulnerability in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools versions up to 69.1.1 allows for remote
    code execution via its download functions. These functions, which are used to download packages from URLs
    provided by users or retrieved from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If these
    functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands
    on the system. The issue is fixed in version 70.0. (CVE-2024-6345)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
