The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The profiling.sampling module (Python 3.15+) and asyncio introspection capabilities (3.14+, python -m     asyncio ps and python -m asyncio pstree) features could be used to read and write addresses in a     privileged process if that process connected to a malicious or infected Python process via the remote     debugging feature. This vulnerability requires persistently and repeatedly connecting to the process to be     exploited, even after the connecting process crashes with high likelihood due to ASLR. (CVE-2026-5713)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
