The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 4.0.9. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the wireshark-4.0.9 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
