Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 8acfcfdc-d27c-11f0-8512-b0416f0c4c67 advisory.

 https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/security/advisories/GHSA-r77h-rpp9-w2xm reports:
 Spotipy is a Python library for the Spotify Web API. Prior to version 2.25.2, there is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the OAuth callback server that allows for JavaScript injection through the unsanitized error parameter. Attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the user's browser during OAuth authentication.
 This issue has been patched in version 2.25.2.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the FreeBSD security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
