The remote Windows host is missing security update 4592497 or cumulative update 4592468. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2020-17098, CVE-2020-17140)
A security feature bypass vulnerability exists. An attacker can exploit this and bypass the security feature and perform unauthorized actions compromising the integrity of the system/application.
(CVE-2020-16996)
An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges.
(CVE-2020-17092, CVE-2020-17097)
A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2020-17096)
