The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 10.15.x prior to 10.15.5 Supplemental Update, 10.13.x prior to 10.13.6 Security Update 2020-003. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability :

  • An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges (CVE-2020-9859)

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