There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems.

Security Fix(es): ** DISPUTED ** Python 3.x through 3.10 has an open redirection vulnerability in lib/http/server.py due to no protection against multiple (/) at the beginning of URI path which may leads to information disclosure.

It only implements basic security checks."(CVE-2021-28861)
