The version of Symantec Endpoint Protection Client (SEP) installed on the remote host is prior to 14.3 RU5 Patch 1.
It is therefore affected by a Security Control Bypass if Client User Interface Password protection and/or Policy Import/Export Password protection is enabled. (CVE-2022-37017)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
