"The version of Adobe Acrobat installed on the remote Windows host is a version prior to 24.001.30356 or 25.001.21288. It
is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  - Acrobat Reader versions 24.001.30307, 24.001.30308, 25.001.21265 and earlier are affected by a Use After
    Free vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
    Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
    (CVE-2026-27220, CVE-2026-27278)

  - Acrobat Reader versions 24.001.30307, 24.001.30308, 25.001.21265 and earlier are affected by an Improper
    Certificate Validation vulnerability that could result in a Security feature bypass. An attacker could
    leverage this vulnerability to spoof the identity of a signer. Exploitation of this issue requires user
    interaction. (CVE-2026-27221)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
