The Microsoft Exchange Server installed on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker could exploit this to execute unauthorized arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-28483, CVE-2021-28482, CVE-2021-28481, CVE-2021-28480, CVE-2021-34473)

  • An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2021-34523)

  • An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2021-33766)
