"The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 14.x prior to 14.8.8. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities:

  - The issue was addressed with improved input sanitization. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS
    26.5.2, macOS Tahoe 26.5.2. An app may be able to cause unexpected system termination or write kernel
    memory. (CVE-2026-43724)

  - This issue was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in iOS 26.5.2 and iPadOS
    26.5.2, macOS Tahoe 26.5.2. An app may be able to cause unexpected system termination or corrupt kernel
    memory. (CVE-2026-39868)

  - An access issue was addressed with additional sandbox restrictions. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26.
    An app may be able to access sensitive user data. (CVE-2025-43325)

  - Double Free and possible RCE vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server with the HTTP/2 protocol. This issue
    affects Apache HTTP Server: 2.4.66. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.4.67, which fixes the
    issue. (CVE-2026-23918)

  - A logic issue was addressed with improved file handling. This issue is fixed in macOS Tahoe 26.5. A
    maliciously crafted ZIP archive may bypass Gatekeeper checks. (CVE-2026-28914)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the operating system's self-reported
version number.");
