The version of Apache OpenOffice installed on the remote host is a version prior to 4.1.14. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
libexpat before 2.4.9 has a use-after-free in the doContent function in xmlparse.c. (CVE-2022-40674)
Apache OpenOffice versions before 4.1.14 may be configured to add an empty entry to the Java class path. This may lead to run arbitrary Java code from the current directory. (CVE-2022-38745)
Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments. Several URI Schemes are defined for this purpose. Links can be activated by clicks, or by automatic document events. The execution of such links must be subject to user approval. In the affected versions of OpenOffice, approval for certain links is not requested; when activated, such links could therefore result in arbitrary script execution. (CVE-2022-47052)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version
