The version of FortiClient installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the FG-IR-20-079 advisory.

  • An improper authorization vulnerability [CWE-285] in FortiClient for Windows versions 7.0.1 and below and 6.4.2 and below may allow a local unprivileged attacker to escalate their privileges to SYSTEM via the named pipe responsible for Forticlient updates. (CVE-2021-36183)

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