"The version of Foxit Reader for Mac installed on the remote macOS host is 3.1.0.0111. It is, therefore, affected by a
privilege escalation vulnerability due to incorrect permission setting. An attacker could exploit this by modifying the
dynamic libraries in the Plugins directory.

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