The SysInternals Sysmon application installed on the remote host is missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability:

  • An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to gain elevated privileges.
    (CVE-2023-29343) Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
