The version of Adobe Reader installed on the remote macOS host is a version prior or equal to 2017.011.30194, 2020.001.30020, or 2021.001.20149. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
