That report makes absolutely no sense, and the CVE linked is garbage and has been disputed, because it's about as bad as saying "if you pass sourcecode input from a user to a compiler and run it, that executes the code from the user".

If your security scanner does not ignore disputed CVEs, please report it as a bug to its developers.

In fact, there's already an issue about this in what looks like the upstream of your security scanner: https://github.com/pyupio/safety/issues/527
