The version of Microsoft Edge installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 114.0.1823.106 / 115.0.1901.200. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the August 7, 2023 advisory.

Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability (CVE-2023-38157)
Type Confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed a remote attacker to perform arbitrary read/write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-4068, CVE-2023-4070)
Type Confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-4069)
Heap buffer overflow in Visuals in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-4071)
Out of bounds read and write in WebGL in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-4072)
Out of bounds memory access in ANGLE in Google Chrome on Mac prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity:
High) (CVE-2023-4073)
Use after free in Blink Task Scheduling in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-4074)
Use after free in Cast in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-4075)
Use after free in WebRTC in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted WebRTC session. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-4076)
Insufficient data validation in Extensions in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to inject scripts or HTML into a privileged page via a crafted Chrome Extension. (Chromium security severity: Medium) (CVE-2023-4077)
Inappropriate implementation in Extensions in Google Chrome prior to 115.0.5790.170 allowed an attacker who convinced a user to install a malicious extension to inject scripts or HTML into a privileged page via a crafted Chrome Extension. (Chromium security severity: Medium) (CVE-2023-4078)

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