The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2731 advisory.

  • PHPMailer before 5.2.27 and 6.x before 6.0.6 is vulnerable to an object injection attack. (CVE-2018-19296)

  • PHPMailer 6.1.8 through 6.4.0 allows object injection through Phar Deserialization via addAttachment with a UNC pathname. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2018-19296, but arose because 6.1.8 fixed a functionality problem in which UNC pathnames were always considered unreadable by PHPMailer, even in safe contexts. As an unintended side effect, this fix eliminated the code that blocked addAttachment exploitation.
    (CVE-2020-36326)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
