The detected version of Certifi python package, certifi, is prior to version 2024.07.04. It is, therefore, it contains untrusted root certificates from GLOBALTRUST. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to gain arbitrary permissions within the applicaiton.

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