The version of Oracle MySQL Connectors installed on the remote host is 2.1.x <= 2.1.8 or 8.x <= 8.0.13.
It is, therefore, affected by unspecified vulnerability in Connector/Python subcomponent. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via TLS to compromise MySQL Connectors. Successful attacks can lead to unauthorized access to critical data.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
