The version of Adobe Media Encoder installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 23.6.5, 24.3.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the APSB24-23 advisory.

  • Media Encoder versions 24.2.1, 23.6.4 and earlier are affected by a Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user.
    Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
    (CVE-2024-20772)

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