The remote host is running a version of macOS / Mac OS X that is 11.x prior to 11.6.5 Big Sur. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

  • Opening a maliciously crafted PDF file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2022-22633)

  • Processing a maliciously crafted AppleScript binary may result in unexpected application termination or disclosure of process memory. (CVE-2022-22626, CVE-2022-22627)

  • A local attacker may be able to view the previous logged in user’s desktop from the fast user switching screen. (CVE-2022-22579)

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