medium Nessus Plugin ID 380948

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

 - Soup Sieve is a CSS selector library for Beautiful Soup. From 0.4 until 3.0, deeply nested CSS pseudo- class selectors can cause recursive parsing to exceed Python's recursion limit and raise RecursionError .
 Applications accepting untrusted selectors may experience failure of the affected request or task if the exception is not handled. The demonstrated behavior is recoverable and does not establish an interpreter crash or persistent service-wide denial of service. This vulnerability is fixed in version 3.0.
 (CVE-2026-126193)

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