The version of Foxit PhantomPDF installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 4.0. It is, therefore, affected by a Signature Validation Bypass vulnerability that delivers incorrect validation results when validating certain PDF files that have been modified maliciously or contains non-standard signatures.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
