The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has python3.11 packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A vulnerability has been found in the CPython `venv` module and CLI where path names provided when     creating a virtual environment were not quoted properly, allowing the creator to inject commands into     virtual environment activation scripts (ie source venv/bin/activate). This means that attacker-     controlled virtual environments are able to run commands when the virtual environment is activated.
    Virtual environments which are not created by an attacker or which aren't activated before being used (ie     ./venv/bin/python) are not affected. (CVE-2024-9287)

  - The email module of Python through 3.11.3 incorrectly parses e-mail addresses that contain a special     character. The wrong portion of an RFC2822 header is identified as the value of the addr-spec. In some     applications, an attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only     after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain (e.g., only @company.example.com addresses may be     used for signup). This occurs in email/_parseaddr.py in recent versions of Python. (CVE-2023-27043)

  - A defect was discovered in the Python ssl module where there is a memory race condition with the     ssl.SSLContext methods cert_store_stats() and get_ca_certs(). The race condition can be triggered if     the methods are called at the same time as certificates are loaded into the SSLContext, such as during the     TLS handshake with a certificate directory configured. This issue is fixed in CPython 3.10.14, 3.11.9,     3.12.3, and 3.13.0a5. (CVE-2024-0397)

  - An issue was found in the CPython `zipfile` module affecting versions 3.12.1, 3.11.7, 3.10.13, 3.9.18, and     3.8.18 and prior. The zipfile module is vulnerable to quoted-overlap zip-bombs which exploit the zip     format to create a zip-bomb with a high compression ratio. The fixed versions of CPython makes the zipfile     module reject zip archives which overlap entries in the archive. (CVE-2024-0450)

  - The ipaddress module contained incorrect information about whether certain IPv4 and IPv6 addresses were     designated as globally reachable or private. This affected the is_private and is_global properties of     the ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and ipaddress.IPv6Network     classes, where values wouldn't be returned in accordance with the latest information from the IANA     Special-Purpose Address Registries. CPython 3.12.4 and 3.13.0a6 contain updated information from these     registries and thus have the intended behavior. (CVE-2024-4032)

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