The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3610 advisory.

  - urllib3 before version 1.23 does not remove the Authorization HTTP header when following a cross-origin     redirect (i.e., a redirect that differs in host, port, or scheme). This can allow for credentials in the     Authorization header to be exposed to unintended hosts or transmitted in cleartext. (CVE-2018-20060)

  - In the urllib3 library through 1.24.1 for Python, CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls the     request parameter. (CVE-2019-11236)

  - The urllib3 library before 1.24.2 for Python mishandles certain cases where the desired set of CA     certificates is different from the OS store of CA certificates, which results in SSL connections     succeeding in situations where a verification failure is the correct outcome. This is related to use of     the ssl_context, ca_certs, or ca_certs_dir argument. (CVE-2019-11324)

  - An issue was discovered in urllib2 in Python 2.x through 2.7.16 and urllib in Python 3.x through 3.7.3.
    CRLF injection is possible if the attacker controls a url parameter, as demonstrated by the first argument     to urllib.request.urlopen with \r\n (specifically in the query string after a ? character) followed by an     HTTP header or a Redis command. This is fixed in: v2.7.17, v2.7.17rc1, v2.7.18, v2.7.18rc1; v3.5.10,     v3.5.10rc1, v3.5.8, v3.5.8rc1, v3.5.8rc2, v3.5.9; v3.6.10, v3.6.10rc1, v3.6.11, v3.6.11rc1, v3.6.12,     v3.6.9, v3.6.9rc1; v3.7.4, v3.7.4rc1, v3.7.4rc2, v3.7.5, v3.7.5rc1, v3.7.6, v3.7.6rc1, v3.7.7, v3.7.7rc1,     v3.7.8, v3.7.8rc1, v3.7.9. (CVE-2019-9740)

  - http.client in Python 3.x before 3.5.10, 3.6.x before 3.6.12, 3.7.x before 3.7.9, and 3.8.x before 3.8.5     allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as demonstrated by inserting CR     and LF control characters in the first argument of HTTPConnection.request. (CVE-2020-26116)

  - urllib3 before 1.25.9 allows CRLF injection if the attacker controls the HTTP request method, as     demonstrated by inserting CR and LF control characters in the first argument of putrequest(). NOTE: this     is similar to CVE-2020-26116. (CVE-2020-26137)

  - urllib3 is a user-friendly HTTP client library for Python. urllib3 doesn't treat the `Cookie` HTTP header     special or provide any helpers for managing cookies over HTTP, that is the responsibility of the user.
    However, it is possible for a user to specify a `Cookie` header and unknowingly leak information via HTTP     redirects to a different origin if that user doesn't disable redirects explicitly. This issue has been     patched in urllib3 version 1.26.17 or 2.0.5. (CVE-2023-43804)

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