Regarding the vulnerability fixes for urllib3 (Fixed version: 1.26.19) and certifi (Fixed version: 2024.07.04), related to CVE-2024-37891 and CVE-2024-39689, has anyone managed to fix them?
 
Hello, since there is no solution yet, I had to do a procedure so that Nessus no longer finds the vulnerability:
In the path "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages" I renamed the certifi and urllib3 folders to certifi.OLD and urllib3.OLD.
Apparently Proxmox does not use them and so I had no impact. When I perform a new upgrade I will return to the correct names and check if they are updated.
 
Seems like neither of these packages are in the actual proxmox repo which means they do not maintain them and it's on upstream debian to correct them.
