The Microsoft Visual Studio Products installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities including the following:

  • An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2022-24513)

  • A buffer overflow vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to trigger crash in the system. (CVE-2020-8927)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version
