The Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 runtime installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability. When a .NET application utilizing libgdiplus on a non-Windows system accepts input, an attacker could send a specially crafted request that could result in application crashes.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version
