NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.06 : python3@11 Vulnerability (NS-SA-2025-0238)

high Nessus Plugin ID 266245

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has python3@11 packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability:

- An issue was discovered in Python 3.11 through 3.11.4. If a path containing '\0' bytes is passed to os.path.normpath(), the path will be truncated unexpectedly at the first '\0' byte. There are plausible cases in which an application would have rejected a filename for security reasons in Python 3.10.x or earlier, but that filename is no longer rejected in Python 3.11.x. (CVE-2023-41105)

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

Solution

Upgrade the vulnerable CGSL python3@11 packages. Note that updated packages may not be available yet. Please contact ZTE for more information.
