The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5629-1 advisory.

  • DISPUTED Python 3.x through 3.10 has an open redirection vulnerability in lib/http/server.py due to no protection against multiple (/) at the beginning of URI path which may leads to information disclosure.
    NOTE: this is disputed by a third party because the http.server.html documentation page states Warning:
    http.server is not recommended for production. It only implements basic security checks. (CVE-2021-28861)

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