The Malware Protection Engine version of Microsoft Windows Defender installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 1.1.18242.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit one of these vulnerabilities to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands.

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